Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Cook for about 5-6 minutes without stirring to allow the bottoms to develop a golden crust.
Flip the potatoes gently using a spatula and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on both sides.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes, then top with the Parmesan cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and lower the heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and gooey.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve the Cheesy Sautato Skillet hot as a side dish or a main course, and enjoy!
