Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and blanch them for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Step 3

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the blanched potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Cook for 10-12 minutes, occasionally flipping the potatoes to ensure even browning. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and cover the pan with a lid for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
