Skillet-Roasted Potatoes With Lemon and Chives
Per serving
For even cooking and proper browning, the potatoes must be cooked in a single layer and should not be crowded in the pan, so be sure to use a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet. A nonstick skillet simplifies cleanup but is not essential.

Using tongs, turn potatoes skin side down if using halved potatoes, or second cut side down if using quartered potatoes; cook without stirring until deep golden brown, 5-6 minutes longer.
