Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for color)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Scrub and peel (if desired) the russet potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the diced potatoes into a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is shimmering.
Add the par-boiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust on one side.
Flip the potatoes and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes until they are evenly crispy and browned.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, thyme, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, making sure the garlic becomes fragrant but does not burn.
Remove from the heat and transfer the herbed home fries to a serving dish. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve hot.
