Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added fiber and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into even 1/4-inch thick slices. This ensures they cook evenly and become nicely crispy.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and add the olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the oil.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper over the potatoes.
Toss the potatoes again until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned potatoes in an even layer. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
As you finish each batch, place the cooked potatoes on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Once all the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a topping for salads or bowls.
