Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh chives
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch thick.
Step 2
Rinse the potato cubes thoroughly in cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the butter melts and starts to bubble.
Step 4
Add the potato cubes to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing one side to turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Flip the potatoes gently using a spatula and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until all sides are golden brown and tender.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic. Stir frequently for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 7
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to coat evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potatoes and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Once the cheese is melted, sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives over the dish for a burst of freshness.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side or snack, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
