Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling the russet potatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the olive oil. Stir the fats together until they're well combined.

Step 3

Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and add them to the skillet. Stir to coat the potatoes with the onion and garlic mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the potatoes are mostly submerged. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the potatoes simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed most of the broth.

Step 8

Uncover the skillet and allow the potatoes to cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the liquid thicken slightly.

Step 9

Garnish the smothered potatoes with chopped parsley before serving, adding a fresh burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish to complement your favorite proteins or enjoy on their own for a comforting meal.
