For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You will need to soak the pan in water and washing up liquid for at least a day. Then ease off as much residue as you can, with a soft implement such as a plastic spoon or your fingernails. Then empty out the water and sprinkle in a thick coating of bicarb. Use a 'green and yellow' washing up sponge to gently scour using the bicarb as an abrasive. Re-season the pot afterwards and in future when cooking anything, soak the pot while it's still hot (not straight off the heat but soon after).
DD you do NOT season a stainless steel pan. You just use it as it is.
Any pan will stick if you use too high a heat for cooking or frying.
As we have said a cast iron pan does need to be seasoned and then cleaned correctly. What oil did you use for the frying ? I am just wondering if you tried to 'dry fry' the spuds , that would not work,you need oil.

It seems to be optional with folk having different opinions.

Walnut oil is for dressing, it has far too low a smoke point for frying.
Use Rape seed oil, far better and much cheaper.
The sticky film is degraded (burnt) walnut oil, you will have to scrub it off and start again with rape seed or ground nut oil NOT walnut oil! Keep any walnut oil you have left for salad dressing.
I work in a pro kitchen where we cook 1,000 meals a day and have 30 cast iron woks (all seasoned) we always use rapeseed oil it never sticks.
One tip to clean the pan, fill it to above the sticky part with water and biological washing powder , then boil it gently for 30 mins, rinse and the residue should wash out easily, repeat if necessary.Use bio washing powder the sort you use to wash clothes not washing up liquid.
