Pizzaiola potatoes in a pan

Skillet Pizzaiola Potatoes take the tomato-oregano-caper logic usually applied to meat and redirect it entirely toward potatoes—slow-cooked in a single pan until the slices are tender enough to pull apart with a spoon. Red onion, briny olives, and capers build the sauce while oregano does the heavy aromatic work, and because everything happens on the stovetop, no oven enters the picture. The result has a rustic, deeply savory character that makes it a natural alternative to classic oven-roasted potatoes without requiring any of the same effort.

Mozzarella goes in at the very end, melting into the warm sauce for a stretchy, pull-apart finish that the source calls an irresistible stringy effect—and it earns the description. Serve it as a substantial side alongside meat or fish, or let it stand on its own as a vegetarian main with good bread to scoop up the loose, fragrant sauce collecting at the bottom of the pan. Either way, the combination of soft potato slices, intense tomato sauce, and melted cheese is the kind of thing the whole table reaches for.
