Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
Directions
Step 1
Wash, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chili powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set the spice mix aside.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to achieving crispiness.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the mixture is shimmering, carefully add the potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes, without stirring, until the bottoms start to brown and crisp up.
Step 6
Gently flip the potatoes with a spatula and sprinkle the spice mix evenly over them. Stir to coat the potatoes thoroughly with the spices. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Drizzle the hot sauce over the potatoes during the last few minutes of cooking and stir to incorporate the fiery flavor.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy these bold, blackened home fries as a standalone snack or alongside eggs and sausage for a spicy breakfast from hell!
