Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch and prevent browning.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and set both aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes without stirring, allowing them to develop a golden crust.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are golden on one side, stir them gently to turn and brown the other sides. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own. These skillet taters pair beautifully with eggs, bacon, or grilled meats.
