Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Meanwhile, dice the yellow onion into small pieces and set aside.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure there is no excess moisture.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and become slightly bubbly.

Step 5

Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent and fragrant.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the dried potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out evenly to ensure a single layer for even cooking.

Step 7

Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust on one side. Then, use a spatula to flip them gently.

Step 8

Season the potatoes with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 9

Continue to cook the potatoes for an additional 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden on all sides. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 10

Once the potatoes are fully cooked and crispy, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top as a garnish.

Step 11

Serve the home fries hot and enjoy them alongside eggs, bacon, or your favorite main dish.
