Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch in size).

Step 2

Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes in an even layer. Let them sit undisturbed for about 4 minutes to allow them to form a golden crust.

Step 6

Stir the potatoes gently with a spatula, making sure to turn them over, then let them fry for another 4 minutes.

Step 7

Add the butter to the skillet, followed by the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes until the onions are soft and fragrant.

Step 8

Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly.

Step 9

Continue to cook the potatoes for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked through and crispy on the outside.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle parsley (if using) on top for a fresh finish.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
