Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the potatoes without stirring for 4-5 minutes to allow the bottom layer to crisp up.
Flip the potatoes gently using a spatula and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the home fries.
Serve immediately as a side dish or alongside eggs and toast for a complete breakfast.
