Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch in size).
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes in an even layer. Let them sit undisturbed for about 4 minutes to allow them to form a golden crust.
Stir the potatoes gently with a spatula, making sure to turn them over, then let them fry for another 4 minutes.
Add the butter to the skillet, followed by the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.
Continue to cook the potatoes for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked through and crispy on the outside.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle parsley (if using) on top for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
