This pan-fried potatoes recipe is a simple one-pan dinner made with potatoes vegetables and a meat of your choice! There is nothing better than a simple dinner during the busy weeknights.
This is great to prepare in a good Sauté Pan with tall sides like this one I’m using, or a Kazan, or good quality Dutch. Really anything with a thick bottom will work.
what meat can I use?
You can use any meat you like. I make it with beef, pork or chicken. Sometimes I even use a few different types of meat at once, whatever I have on hand. If you will be using beef or pork be sure to cook it longer once all the ingredients are in the skillet then I have indicated for the chicken.
how to make pan-fried potatoes with meat-
- Cut the meat into bite-size pieces. Season meat. Mix and set aside.
- Peel and cut potatoes into 4-5 strands. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.
- Heat oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Once the oil is hot add half of the potatoes and fry on high heat until they are golden and have a crunchy outside, mix as necessary so all sides are cooked (about 8 minutes, they will not be fully cooked).
- Transfer to heat resistant bowl and cover. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Transfer the potatoes into the bowl and season. Mix well. Cover.
- Add the meat to the skillet and cook 8-10 minutes, until the meat has a crispy, golden outside.
- Meanwhile, clean carrot and pepper and cut into strands. Peel onion, slice in half.
- Once the meat is cooked, add garlic, onion, carrot, pepper, and potatoes.
- Turn heat down to low/medium, close lid and cook another 25-35 minutes.
- Gently mix during the cooking, not too often.
- Right before serving, add a handful of herbs to the skillet and close lid again.
- Enjoy immediately.

Pan Fried Potatoes with Meat

- 1 large carrot
- 1/2 red pepper

- Peel the potatoes and cut each potato into 4 - 5 Jo Jo like slices. If a potato is large, to get 5 pieces, instead of cutting the potato down the middle first, cut it to one side. The smaller half, cut into two and the large half cut into three, genius eyyy? Repeat with all potatoes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry (right before adding to the skillet).
- Heat oil in skillet on high heat.
- Once oil is hot add half of the potatoes and fry on high heat until they are golden and have a crunchy outside, mix as necessary so all sides are cooked (about 8 minutes, they will not be fully cooked). Transfer to heat resistant bowl and cover. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Transfer the potatoes into the bowl and season with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp favorite seasoning, ¼ tsp pepper. Mix well. Cover.

- Meanwhile, clean carrot and pepper and cut into strands. Peel onion, slice in half.
- Once meat is cooked, add the vegetable and potatoes. Turn heat down to low/medium, close lid and cook another 25-35 minutes. Gently mix during the cooking, not too often. [Cooking time may vary depending on the skillet you use and stove top. As noted above if using pork and especially beef, cook about 45 min to 1 hr so the meat is really tender.]
- Right before serving, add a handful of herbs to the skillet and close lid again. Enjoy immediately.
This turned out really delicious! My husband loved the potatoes! 🙂 Thank you!
Mary, Yayyy. So so happy to hear the Mr. approved:-)…
It is encouraging to know that a food blogger was once an inexperienced cook =). I am at that stage right now. I think as long as I have my bloggers, I will be fine.
Sveta, I’m not sure I still know what I’m doing sometime, haha:-). You will be just fine, just takes some practice:)..
This recipe has my name written all over it. I also got carried away listening “Rooftops” song (one of my favorite songs), I like the idea of links to worship songs :).
Vadim, thank you:). It’s a phenomenal song and this young boys version gives me goosebumps every time.. So beautiful..
Hi Valentina! As a newlywed I think Ill be referring to your website quite often (like you mentioned in your comment I am not the greatest cook and NEED recipes to make anything). Everything you post looks delicious! This recipe looks like something my husband would really like. I probably have cooked with steak one time and unfortunately its my husbands favorite. If I added beef, is there a cut from the beef that would work really well? (Im not sure if it makes a difference, again a little bit inexperienced) Thank you!
Mary,
First, welcome to our Family’s Blog!. We are so glad you have found us.
Second, would like to congratulate you on your marriage. What a wonderful time in your life. I would like to take the time to bless you and your hubby with health, respect, love, understanding, kiddos, employment and loads of happiness. I pray you will be a Godly, submissive attentive wife and may your hubby cherish you, respect and shower you with unconditional love all the days of your lives:). :). May your love for each other grow more and more every year. I just love that you are already pleasing him and making the beef cause that is what he likes, what an awesome wifey you are.
Lastly, yes it does matter which meat you use, I typically buy beef sirloin, beef chuck or a good quality beef stew. Once you and the veggies and potatoes to the skillet, just let it cook until meat is really tender (low/med heat) 45min to 1 hr. Meat is so soft and just melts in your mouth and every bite is savored. {P.S. and as he is enjoying this wonderful meal, this is where you bring up the purchasing of those shoes you want. What, wait, what did I just say. I was teasing, of course, sorta, kinda not.. Hehe}
Thank you so much! That is so so sweet of you, I really appreciate your blessing and word of advise!! I too pray I will be that Godly and wise wife 🙂 Thank you for the recipe and tip for the right beef. I will try to make this sometime soon! Hehe that is not a bad idea, I guess they do say a way to the man’s heart is through his stomach 😉 Thank you! God bless! 🙂
Yummmm!!! My husband’s favorite dish is zharenaya kartoshechka! He he! no matter what i cook he always requests it at least once a week! But we are from Belarus, so we grew up on potatoes! Lol your dish looks delicious, I’m going to try it one of this days! Thank you for posting it! And yes, plz tell us how do you find time to do all this with 5 children!
Your hubs has good taste in food, hehe:). He is in for a treat, seriously.
You’re funny. I think you will be surprised how simple my life:).. Thanks for stopping by.
Valentina, I posted in another post but for some reason it wasn’t published. Would you please think about doing a post on how you schedule your day. I have young children and most day find myself running around doing something all day and there is nothin done. I am so exhausted at the end of the day and just not sure what I am doing wrong. And I feel terrible because I am so tired and have no energy left for my husband and not even talking about Bible reading. It would be such a blessing to hear your day structure. Thank already. Blessings 🙂
P.S. Milk story, so cute.
Karinochka,
I am so sorry, it was not on purpose and not sure how I could of missed it. Do forgive me.. :/ I know exactly what u mean though. I have had few requests for a post like this. I will put it on my to do list:)..
Oh I just love this introduction, your hilarious. Im not sure which I am in more awe of, that you survived for a half a year with your mother in law, the fact that you weren’t a pro at cooking when you got married or the beautiful Christian songs you share. Goodness, all so touching. God bless you sister in Christ. Preach it!!.. 🙂
Oliyana. Ha. Thanks, you made me smile:). Can I in awe u more, they would come every year for 6 years straight and stay six months;).. Twas ummmm really ummmm eventful, haha..
Thanks for commenting, that’s what makes me want to continue blogging:).. Powerful songs ey? Too good not to share!! Blessings..
