Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
Place the cubed potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning and to remove some of the starch for better crisping.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely and become foamy.
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Add the potatoes to the skillet and spread them out into an even layer.
Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 5–7 minutes, allowing the bottoms to develop a golden crust.
Carefully flip the potatoes with a spatula and cook for another 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
Add the minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the potatoes in the seasoning, and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the potatoes with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the skillet potatoes immediately as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
