Method:
Scrub your fluffy potatoes clean
Rub a tiny drop of oil into the skins and sprinkle salt around them on a baking tray (the salt draws out the moisture and makes them extra crispy!) or pat a bit on to the skins.
Put them in the oven. Check to see if they're cooked after an hour. A medium potato will be ready within an hour and a half.
When they are cooked, split them open and serve with a bit of butter
If cooking an ovenful of potatoes, increase the temperature to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7. Use metal skewers or baking prongs pushed through the potatoes to reduce the cooking time by up to a quarter.

1
Peel the potatoes if desired. Peeling is not essential; this depends on the quality of the potatoes and personal preference. If you leave the peel intact, be sure it is well cleaned.

2
Cut the potatoes into small chunks. Aim for small cube-like shapes about 1 inch/2.5cm diameter.

3
Parboil the potato chunks. This ensures thorough cooking when fried, resulting in a soft middle and crispy outer texture.
Pre-cooked potatoes can also be cut into cubes and fried. This can be a good way to use up leftover baked or roasted potatoes.

You can skip this step on the understanding that the fried chunks may not soften as nicely as you'd like them to. Small cubes of potato will usually cook sufficiently in the oil mixture as long as they're carefully tended and don't burn before they're cooked enough.

Add the butter and oil to the frying pan or skillet. Heat the fats until bubbling.

Fry the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes stirring every one to three minutes until they are golden brown, not half burnt. Make sure that the bottom of the pan is evenly covered with pieces of potato after each time you stir. If there are bare areas where nothing is frying in the oil, this wastes time and energy.
