Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. This parboils the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy later.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake gently to rough up the edges. This step helps create crispy texture while frying.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even crisping.
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Stir occasionally, but let the potatoes sit undisturbed for a few minutes at a time to develop a golden crust.
Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
