Gather the ingredients.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet.
When the oil shimmers, add half of the potatoes and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté the potatoes, tossing and stirring frequently while keeping them in a single layer, until the potatoes are lightly browned and fork tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the heat as needed if the potatoes are browning too quickly.
Transfer potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate as they become done to absorb excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining half of the potatoes and the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil . Adjust the seasoning as needed, and serve.
