Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
Instructions
Wash, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set the spice mix aside.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to achieving crispiness.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the mixture is shimmering, carefully add the potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, without stirring, until the bottoms start to brown and crisp up.
Gently flip the potatoes with a spatula and sprinkle the spice mix evenly over them. Stir to coat the potatoes thoroughly with the spices. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Drizzle the hot sauce over the potatoes during the last few minutes of cooking and stir to incorporate the fiery flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy these bold, blackened home fries as a standalone snack or alongside eggs and sausage for a spicy breakfast from hell!
