Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by scrubbing the potatoes under running water to clean off any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into even-sized cubes, about 1/2 inch thick, for even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer, ensuring an even spread.
Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes.
Remove the lid and carefully turn the potatoes to allow the other sides to cook. Continue frying uncovered, stirring occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy, about another 10 minutes.
Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
