These Skillet Potatoes make a perfect side dish. Made with rosemary and lemon juice, they are aromatic and full of flavor!
I absolutely LOVE potatoes and this Easy Potato Skillet recipe! It pairs well with almost anything: salads, meat, poultry, seafood, you name it. You can enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. That’s what I call a versatile dish! And it takes less than 30 minutes to make.
Red-skinned potatoes, please! Because of their waxy texture, they hold shape nicely, and won’t become mushy by the end of cooking. While Russet and Idaho potatoes are great for baking and boiling, they won’t work very well in this recipe.

It’s totally up to you. I always keep the skin on when I cook with new potatoes, or when the potatoes have very smooth and even skin that can be scrubbed and washed easily. If the potatoes are really dirty, have blemishes, or uneven surface, I suggest peeling the skin.
I recommend cutting potatoes into ½-inch thick slices or wedges. Medium cubes will also work. Just avoid cutting them too thin, so they don’t break while cooking.
1.Peel the potatoes and cut into ½-inch thick slices or wedges.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the potatoes.
3. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the vegetable broth, lemon juice, and rosemary springs. Cover with a tight lid and cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is almost gone.
4. Remove the lid and keep cooking the potatoes, stirring occasionally, allowing them to brown and fully cook through.
5. Add the garlic, if desired, and cook for 1 more minute. Garnish with fresh rosemary and serve immediately.
No rosemary? You can substitute fresh thyme or dried oregano for the rosemary.
Potatoes stuck to the skillet? Sorry about that. Make sure to use a non-stick skillet next time, friend.
Potatoes look mushy? Two possible reasons: you used starchy potatoes (stick to red-skinned potatoes), or you stirred the potatoes too much.
Garlic optional! Depending on your mood and personal preferences, you may skip the garlic in this recipe.
