Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. This parboils the potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy later.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake gently to rough up the edges. This step helps create crispy texture while frying.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even crisping.

Step 6

Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder. Stir occasionally, but let the potatoes sit undisturbed for a few minutes at a time to develop a golden crust.

Step 7

Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
