Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Peel if desired, but the skins add great texture and flavor.
Step 2
Dice the potatoes into evenly-sized 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt completely.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly. Cook for 10 minutes without stirring to allow the potatoes to develop a golden-brown crust.
Step 6
Stir the potatoes gently and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even browning.
Step 7
Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
Step 8
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for 5 more minutes until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve hot as a side dish or incorporate into a larger meal. Enjoy Jan's Country Potatoes with breakfast eggs, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables!
