Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).
Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let them sit for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the water from the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown and crispy.
Lower the heat to medium, add the butter, and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly while they finish cooking (about 5–7 more minutes).
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the cooked potatoes. Toss once more to combine.
Serve immediately, either as a side dish or topped with a fried egg for a complete breakfast!
