Ingredients
- 6 medium Waxy potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 ounces Feta cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the slices under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for later use.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the potato slices in a single layer. Fry them for 5-7 minutes on one side without stirring, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Use a spatula to flip the potatoes carefully, then fry the other side for another 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Add more oil or butter if needed.
Step 5
Once all the potatoes are fried and removed from the pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 7
Return the fried potatoes to the skillet, and gently toss them with the onions and garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese over the top. Gently mix to combine, ensuring the feta is slightly warmed but not melted.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or a main course, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
