Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley
Instructions
Begin by peeling the russet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil. Stir the fats together until they're well combined.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet. Stir to coat the potatoes with the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed most of the broth.
Uncover the skillet and allow the potatoes to cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the liquid thicken slightly.
Garnish the smothered potatoes with chopped parsley before serving, adding a fresh burst of color and flavor.
Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite proteins or enjoy on their own for a comforting meal.
