Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into uniformly-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size, for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a bowl of cold water and allow them to soak for about 5 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and results in crispier potatoes.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Allow the potatoes to cook without stirring for about 5 minutes until they start to get golden and crispy on one side.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Gently flip the potatoes using a spatula and allow them to cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Once cooked to your desired level of crispiness, remove the potatoes from the heat.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or alongside your favorite vegan main course.
