Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjusted to taste, for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjusted to taste, for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish, double for 2 servings) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized cubes or thin slices, about 1/2-inch thick, for even cooking.
Fill a medium saucepan with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and parboil them for about 5 minutes, or until they are just slightly tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Toss the parboiled potatoes in a bowl with the turmeric powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet in a single layer.
Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crispy. Flip them gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side, until they are crispy and tender all around.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if using.
Serve the pan-fried potatoes hot as a side dish or a main dish alongside eggs, yogurt, or a salad.
