Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for a rustic texture. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
Peel and dice the yellow onion into medium-sized pieces, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Once the butter has melted, add the potato chunks to the pan. Spread them out into a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden crust.
Stir the potatoes gently, flipping them to brown on the other sides. Cook for another 5 minutes, then push the potatoes to one side of the skillet.
In the open space of the skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften and turn golden.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together (potatoes, onions, and seasonings) to ensure even coating.
Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and crisp on the outside. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the home fries with thinly sliced green onions.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own with your favorite condiments.
