Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Ensure that the cubes are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving crispiness.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the dried and cubed potatoes to the hot oil, spreading them out in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 3 minutes until the bottoms start to turn golden brown.
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Using a spatula, toss the potatoes to coat them well with the seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside, about 15-18 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the crispy homefries to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
