Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Place diced potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain well.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5–7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
Flip and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until all sides are crispy and golden, about 10–15 minutes.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
Parboiling helps achieve a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Use a large skillet to avoid overcrowding for best browning.
Swap seasonings with chili powder or smoked paprika for variation.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet for crispiness.
