Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let them sit for 5 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 3

Drain the water from the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).

Step 5

Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.

Step 6

Cook the potatoes for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium, add the butter, and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly while they finish cooking (about 5–7 more minutes).

Step 8

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle it over the cooked potatoes. Toss once more to combine.

Step 9

Serve immediately, either as a side dish or topped with a fried egg for a complete breakfast!
