Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into approximately 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, which contributes to a crispier texture when frying.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel to ensure there is no excess moisture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes on one side, then use a spatula to flip them. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Once done, remove the skillet from heat, and transfer the crispy potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
