Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly tender but not falling apart.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool for a few minutes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the par-boiled potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispiness.

Step 6

Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow the bottoms to brown and crisp up. Then, gently flip the potatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until all sides are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from heat and serve immediately. These Pantry Potatoes pair wonderfully with eggs, roasted vegetables, or a simple side salad.
