Peel and dice the potatoes into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2-inch). Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt into the oil.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Stir occasionally, cooking for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes begin to crisp and turn golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings.
Once the potatoes are crisp and cooked through (test by piercing with a fork), remove the skillet from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed, and serve immediately.
