Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut the potatoes into ½-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the spice blend.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes to allow them to develop a golden-brown crust. Then stir them gently and cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully tender and crispy on the outside.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve the Zesty Home Fries immediately and enjoy!
