Default Fryin' Taters

I fried some potatoes tonight, and they came out pretty good. I slice them,
immediately putting them under cold water. I preheated peanut oil on a
med-med hi electric burner. I tossed in the drained potatoes, then timed
two minutes between flips.

I have trouble with some being uncooked, some sticking together, and then
some being overcooked because of being cooked repeatedly on the same side.

Are there any secrets to doing this so they all come out cooked equally? I
had a nice large skillet, non stick, and I like to flip with a hand motion.
Maybe brown them all for about ten minutes while flipping, then reduce heat?

I also put a spatter screen on them, and three times, I would add about 3 or
4 tbsp of water to make it steam good, and cook the ones that weren't coming
in contact with the cooking surface.

Help appreciated.

Steve
