Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set both aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the potato cubes in a single layer to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the potato cubes. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally to brown all sides evenly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the last 3 minutes of cooking, stirring it into the potatoes to infuse flavor without burning.
Once the potatoes are tender and crispy, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
Serve the skillet browned potatoes hot as a side dish to complement your favorite meal.
