Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick rounds or cubes for even cooking.
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture. Let them soak for at least 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil covers the bottom of the skillet completely.
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can result in steaming rather than frying.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder immediately after adding them to the skillet.
Cook the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they are golden brown and crispy, then flip them over using a spatula.
Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 additional minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Repeat the process with any remaining potato slices until all are cooked.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a touch of freshness and color.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your crispy fried potatoes!
