Salt and Pepper Skillet Fries

Salt and Pepper Skillet Fries are pan-seared potato strips that turn golden and crisp in a blend of olive oil and butter, then finished with flaky sea salt and coarse black pepper. They deliver a satisfying crunch with a fluffy center and a clean, peppery finish—perfect as a snack or an easy side for burgers, grilled meats, or casual gatherings.
