Ingredients

• 750 g Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and scrubbing the potatoes clean. There's no need to peel them unless preferred.

Step 2

Slice the potatoes into thin, evenly sized discs, about 1/4-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Boil the potato slices in a large pot of lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooling, peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 8

Push the onion and garlic mixture to the side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 9

Arrange the par-cooked potato slices in the skillet in a single layer as much as possible.

Step 10

Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes.

Step 11

Cook the potatoes for about 6-8 minutes on one side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Carefully flip the potatoes and cook for another 6-8 minutes on the other side to achieve a crispy texture.

Step 13

Once crispy and brown, mix the potatoes with the onions and garlic, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 14

Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
