  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ pounds new potatoes, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

  • How To Cook:
    1. In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over moderate heat. When the foam begins to subside, add the potatoes.

    2. Turning them frequently with a metal spatula, cook for 15 minutes or until they are tender and golden brown.

    3. Season with salt and a few grindings of pepper, then transfer the potatoes to a heated bowl or platter and serve at once, sprinkled with parsley if you like.

    4. When fried potatoes accompany Iscas or Bife a Portuguesa, they are traditionally arranged in a symmetrical ring around the meat.
