Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick rounds or cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the sliced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, which helps in achieving a crispier texture. Let them soak for at least 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil covers the bottom of the skillet completely.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can result in steaming rather than frying.
Step 5
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder immediately after adding them to the skillet.
Step 6
Cook the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes on one side until they are golden brown and crispy, then flip them over using a spatula.
Step 7
Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 additional minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with any remaining potato slices until all are cooked.
Step 10
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a touch of freshness and color.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your crispy fried potatoes!
