Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch in size. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become slightly foamy.
Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their oils, but leave them mostly intact. Add the smashed garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the garlic from the skillet and set it aside for later.
Carefully add the potato cubes to the skillet, spreading them out into a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, until the bottoms turn golden brown.
Flip the potato cubes using a spatula, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and rosemary. Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and cooked through.
Finely chop the parsley. Add the reserved garlic back into the skillet for the last 2 minutes of cooking to reheat and infuse additional flavor.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over the top, gently tossing to coat the potatoes evenly.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, garnished with extra parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired.
