Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes (if desired). Cut them into small, evenly sized cubes, about 1/2-inch in size, for even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook for 5 minutes. This partially cooks the potatoes and helps achieve a fluffy interior once roasted. Drain and pat the potatoes dry.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is fully melted and starts to slightly foam.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the bottom to develop a golden-brown crust.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper evenly over the potatoes. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the spices, being careful not to break them apart.
Continue cooking the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for garnish, if using.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Enjoy!
