To prepare, simply drain the potatoes from their liquid. They can be pan-fried until golden brown and crispy, often with onions and peppers for a classic breakfast hash. They also work well when added to stews and soups, absorbing the flavors of the broth. For baked dishes, they can be layered with other ingredients and cooked until tender. Boiling them briefly before frying can help achieve a softer interior with a crisp exterior.
