Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs) russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on adds a rustic texture and extra flavor.
Cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes, making sure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the diced potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer for 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain the potatoes well and set them aside.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the partially cooked potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Sprinkle the potatoes with paprika, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasoning.
Continue frying the potatoes for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp and golden brown on all sides.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh, herby finish.
Serve the country-style potatoes warm as a side dish with breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
