Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for texture and added nutrients.
Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for uniform cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and parboil for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, dice the onion and red bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and just begins to foam.
Add the onions and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
Stir in the drained potato cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated with the oil and butter mixture.
Sprinkle the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss well to combine.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, allowing a crispy crust to form on one side.
Using a spatula, gently turn the potatoes, trying to preserve their crust. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they are crispy on all sides.
Check for seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the cooked potatoes before serving.
Serve the country potatoes hot as a side dish to accompany your favorite breakfast or brunch menu.
