Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized cubes about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the potato cubes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp up when frying.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
Carefully add the potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Cook the potatoes undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Flip the potatoes using a spatula and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir them gently to coat evenly with the seasonings.
Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through. You can test their doneness by piercing them with a fork.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy your Awesome Pan Fried Potatoes!
