Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and parboil for about 5 minutes—just enough to soften them slightly without fully cooking. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Flip the potatoes and add the diced onion. Stir occasionally, cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir well to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the potatoes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Easy Home Fries!
