Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Place the potato slices in a large bowl and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Preheat a large cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.

Step 4

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the potato slices to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh rosemary. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and lower the heat to medium-low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the edges of the potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the skillet briefly (about 2 minutes) until the cheese melts.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
