Ingredients 🛒
- 1.5 lbs red potatoes, washed and diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions 🥄
1. Prep the Potatoes
Cut the red potatoes into bite-sized pieces, keeping them uniform so they cook evenly. No need to peel – the skin adds extra crispiness and flavor!
2. Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted. The butter adds richness, while the oil keeps the potatoes from burning.
3. Sear the Potatoes
Add the potatoes to the pan in a single layer (don’t overcrowd!). Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until golden brown on one side.
4. Season and Stir
Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Stir to coat evenly and continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Crisp to Perfection
Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes to ensure the insides are tender while the outsides stay crispy.
6. Garnish & Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot. These potatoes pair perfectly with eggs, grilled meats, or just as a snack on their own!
