Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon (for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjusted to taste, for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjusted to taste, for 1 serving, double for 2 servings) Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish, double for 2 servings) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly-sized cubes or thin slices, about 1/2-inch thick, for even cooking.
Step 2
Fill a medium saucepan with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Add the potatoes and parboil them for about 5 minutes, or until they are just slightly tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Toss the parboiled potatoes in a bowl with the turmeric powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet in a single layer.
Step 6
Cook the potatoes without stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and crispy. Flip them gently using a spatula and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side, until they are crispy and tender all around.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley, if using.
Step 8
Serve the pan-fried potatoes hot as a side dish or a main dish alongside eggs, yogurt, or a salad.
