Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and blanch them for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the blanched potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally flipping the potatoes to ensure even browning. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
