Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Peel and finely dice the yellow onion.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and parboil for about 5 minutes—just enough to soften them slightly without fully cooking. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Step 6
Flip the potatoes and add the diced onion. Stir occasionally, cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the onions are soft and the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Step 7
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir well to coat evenly.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to meld with the potatoes.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your Easy Home Fries!
