I've read that the best potatoes are done when you sear them on high and then reduce the heat to low for 30 minutes, but don't shake the pan so they get crispy and delicious. I tried it once and they burnt. I was considering trying this recipe but now that I see they use this method, I'm scared.

Have you done this with success with your potatoes?
