Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel, then slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Place a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and olive oil to the skillet, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Step 3
Once the skillet is hot, add the sliced potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5–6 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Using a spatula, carefully flip the potatoes to cook the other side. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5–6 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the crispy deliciousness!
