Notes
Do not overcook the potatoes so they do not fall apart in the skillet. They should be only slightly tender before browning. Use medium heat so the butter browns the potatoes without burning the garlic. Add the lemon at the end for a fresher flavor. Serve as a side dish for meat, chicken, fish or even as a snack.
