Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Peel the potatoes if desired or leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut each potato into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size.
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion. Crush and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and the skillet to get hot.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, so they begin to develop a crispy, golden crust.
Stir the potatoes gently and sprinkle them with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are evenly browned and tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
