Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly-sized cubes about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps them crisp up when frying.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Carefully add the potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Cook the potatoes undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 8

Flip the potatoes using a spatula and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir them gently to coat evenly with the seasonings.

Step 9

Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy and cooked through. You can test their doneness by piercing them with a fork.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy your Awesome Pan Fried Potatoes!
