Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans Canned whole potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned whole potatoes thoroughly and rinse them under cool running water to remove excess starch.
Cut the whole potatoes in half for more even cooking, or leave them whole if they are already small and uniform.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring each piece makes contact with the surface of the pan.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the potatoes for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crust on all sides.
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the dried parsley over the potatoes, tossing gently to combine.
Optionally, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and allow it to melt slightly before serving.
Serve the potatoes warm as a side dish for breakfast or alongside your favorite proteins for dinner.
