Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Rinse the cubed potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes well and let them sit in the colander to dry, which is crucial for attaining crispiness.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the par-cooked potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they lie in a single layer.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Allow the potatoes to cook for 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally. Do not stir too frequently so the potatoes can develop a crispy, golden-brown crust.
Once the potatoes are crispy and browned to your liking, add the unsalted butter to the skillet and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes.
Serve the low sodium crispy homefries hot as a delightful side dish.
