Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Slice them into evenly sized wedges, about 1 inch thick.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring to combine with the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the butter starts to foam, add the potato wedges to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even browning.
Step 4
Sprinkle the potatoes with kosher salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Step 5
Cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally lifting the lid to check that the bottoms are browning and caramelized. Flip the potatoes gently with tongs halfway through cooking.
Step 6
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook the potatoes for another 8-10 minutes, flipping as needed to brown all sides evenly. Add an extra tablespoon of butter if the skillet becomes too dry.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are golden brown on all sides and fork-tender, transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 8
Top with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
