Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams small potatoes (yukon gold or red)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry.
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped potatoes to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on the outside. Stir halfway through for even browning.
Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes as a garnish before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on their own.
