Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into approximately 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes into a bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch, which contributes to a crispier texture when frying.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel to ensure there is no excess moisture.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 2 minutes until it shimmers.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
Step 6
Sprinkle the potatoes with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 7
Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes on one side, then use a spatula to flip them. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Step 8
Once done, remove the skillet from heat, and transfer the crispy potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
