can you fry raw potatoes
If you don't pare them, do wash raw potatoes thoroughly, remove the eyes, and dry on a kitchen towel or with paper toweling. If you are frying the raw potatoes, you will want to slice them fairly thin. If you are using potatoes that have been boiled or baked you can fry small potatoes whole or slice thickly. Then just pan fry, as you've said. Source(s): 40+ years of cooking and baking.
