Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Oil

  • 3 medium russet potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado/coconut oil for dairy-free option)

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes and Variations

  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Cayenne pepper or chili flakes (for spicy twist)
  • Diced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms (for veggie boost)
  • Fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives (alternative herb options)
  • Shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for cheesy upgrade)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, then dice them into ½-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a crispy finish.
  2. Parboil the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in boiling water for about 5 minutes until just tender but still firm inside. This ensures the interior cooks through without burning the outside.
  3. Season the Potatoes: Drain the parboiled potatoes well and toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
  4. Cook to Crispy Perfection: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned potatoes in a single layer and cook without stirring for 5 minutes to develop a crust. Then, gently flip or stir every few minutes for 10–12 minutes until all sides are golden, crispy, and cooked through.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use a heavy skillet like cast iron for the best crust and even cooking.
  • Ensure potatoes are completely dry before cooking to prevent sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook potatoes in a single layer for even crisping.
  • Let potatoes sit undisturbed initially to develop a golden crust.
  • Adjust seasoning near the end of cooking to taste.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in a skillet over medium heat to regain crispiness, avoid microwaving.
