Best Fried Potatoes Ever

This recipe also comes from Meaningful Eats. I don't know if i will ever make them differently. We eat these in breakfast burritos, in the breakfast hash, as a side for dinner, etc. They are so dang good when they get nice and crispy on the outside. Ryus thinks they are french fries that are cut in a different shape, so i guess if you like fries, try these!

Ingredients

For the Potatoes:
• 2lbs Yukon gold potatoes, wash and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (peeling is optional, but recommended)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil + more for cooking
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch cayenne

1. Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large glass, microwave-safe bowl. Toss with the olive oil and salt. Microwave on high for three 5-minute increments. 15 minutes total, stirring every 5 minutes.
2. When the potatoes are done, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the potatoes in an even layer and let cook without moving for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne over the potato mixture.
3. Stir and continue to cook until soft, about 5 minutes longer
