method

1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 15 minutes. Peel and cut into even slices.

2. Heat the butter and oil in a deep frying pan and when hot, add the sliced potatoes.

3. Season with a little salt and cook until golden brown on both sides, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking. Season to taste.
