Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley. Set both aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Step 4
Add the potato cubes in a single layer to the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Step 5
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Step 6
Use a spatula to carefully flip the potato cubes. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally to brown all sides evenly.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the last 3 minutes of cooking, stirring it into the potatoes to infuse flavor without burning.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are tender and crispy, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes and gently toss to combine.
Step 9
Serve the skillet browned potatoes hot as a side dish to complement your favorite meal.
