Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 stalks Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skin on for a rustic texture. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Peel and dice the yellow onion into medium-sized pieces, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted, add the potato chunks to the pan. Spread them out into a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden crust.

Step 5

Stir the potatoes gently, flipping them to brown on the other sides. Cook for another 5 minutes, then push the potatoes to one side of the skillet.

Step 6

In the open space of the skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until it starts to soften and turn golden.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together (potatoes, onions, and seasonings) to ensure even coating.

Step 8

Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender and crisp on the outside. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the home fries with thinly sliced green onions.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own with your favorite condiments.
