Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the russet potatoes thoroughly. Optionally, peel the potatoes if you prefer them without skin.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the spices are evenly mixed with the oil.

Step 4

Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to coat each piece in the seasoned oil mixture.

Step 5

If cooking over an open fire, place a cast-iron skillet over the flames or on a raised grill grate. If cooking indoors, preheat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop.

Step 6

Transfer the coated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out into a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Cook the potatoes, stirring them occasionally, for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 8

Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve the Northwoods Fire Potatoes hot, either as a side dish or a main with your favorite protein or vegetables.
