Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the potato slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh rosemary. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the edges of the potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the skillet briefly (about 2 minutes) until the cheese melts.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
