Potato - skillet fried potato cubes

Select as many potatoes as you need for the meal. The recipe assumes 4 large or 5 medium potatoes.

Add about 2 quarts of water to a large pot and bring it to a boil.

Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes about 1/2 an inch square or so.

When water is boiling, add potatoes and continue to boil for about 5 minutes. Immediately drain into a colander.

In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/4 cup margarine plus about 2 tablespoons vegetable oil until hot. Add the potato cubes and brown well on one side, then using a spatula, turn them over to brown on the other side. Cover the skillet and allow the potatoes to continue cooking over medium high heat until they are brown and soft; stir occasionally. Depending on the amount of potatoes you are cooking, it will take about 15 minutes or so to complete the browning/cooking process.
