How to Make the Best Skillet Rosemary Potatoes
While the full recipe details are available below, here are some tips to make a great skillet potato side dish for dinner tonight!
Rosemary: I recommend that you use fresh rosemary for this recipe, although you can definitely make due with dried rosemary if that is all you have. If you are using dry rosemary, be sure to use a slightly smaller amount of the herb. This is because dried herbs have a more intense flavor. Reduce the amount of rosemary if it is dried. This ensures that it won't overpower the dish. To ensure the rosemary isn't too long in this dish, I recommend chopping before adding it to the pan.
Crisp the Potatoes: what makes these potatoes great is that they are crisp on the edges, yet nice and soft inside. To achieve this, you need to sear the potatoes at the beginning of the cooking process. Achieve this by heating the pan on high heat. Refrain from stirring the potatoes once they have been added to the pan. Wait for a few minutes to allow the potatoes to get achieve a beautiful brown on the side in contact with the pan. This will feel like it is longer than you are comfortable with. It's tough for me to give them enough time every time I make this! Once the potatoes have browned, you can toss them in the pan as much as you like!
The Secret Ingredient: the secret ingredient in these potatoes is yellow mustard! It does not overpower the dish and is actually difficult to pinpoint when you taste it. However, it adds the perfect punch to take these potatoes to a whole other level!

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, toss all of the ingredients together, until the potatoes are well coated with the oil, lemon juice, and mustard.
Heat a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, evenly pour the contents of the mixing bowl into the skillet. Let the potatoes brown on the side in contact with the pan, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the potatoes once they have browned on one side.
Reduce heat and cover the pan with a lid. Continue to cook, covered and stirring occasionally until the potatoes are browned on the edges and easily pierced with a fork, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
