Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon leaves
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. There is no need to peel them, as the skin adds flavor and texture.

Step 2

Fill a pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water and parboil them for 5 minutes, or until they are slightly softened but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil, allowing them to melt and evenly coat the pan.

Step 4

Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, allowing them to develop a golden crust on one side.

Step 5

Flip the potatoes with a spatula and add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings.

Step 6

Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 7

Add the fresh tarragon leaves to the skillet during the final 2 minutes of cooking, stirring to incorporate their flavor without overcooking the herbs.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite protein or enjoy them as a standalone dish.
