Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Peel the potatoes if desired or leave the skins on for extra texture. Cut each potato into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the yellow onion. Crush and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and the skillet to get hot.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, so they begin to develop a crispy, golden crust.

Step 5

Stir the potatoes gently and sprinkle them with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are evenly browned and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
