Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch wide.
Step 2
Rinse the potato cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then place them in a pot of salted cold water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and let the potatoes cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Do not overcook.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel or baking sheet to dry thoroughly.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and unsalted butter over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
Step 6
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes to allow the bottoms to get golden and crispy.
Step 7
Flip the potatoes with a spatula or tongs and repeat this process, cooking each side until all sides are golden and crispy.
Step 8
Add the rosemary and garlic to the skillet during the last 2 minutes of cooking to infuse the potatoes with flavor.
Step 9
Season the crispy potatoes with black pepper and additional salt if needed.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or snack.
