Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for a rustic texture, or peel them if desired.
Dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes to develop a golden, crispy exterior.
Flip the potatoes using a spatula and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, herbal finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These country taters pair perfectly with eggs, bacon, or roasted meat.
