Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Then, cut them into even half-inch cubes to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Soak them for at least 5 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispy.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. It’s crucial to remove as much water as possible to achieve a crispy texture when frying.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ghee. Swirl the pan so the ghee coats the entire bottom evenly.
Step 5
Once the ghee is hot (but not smoking), add the potato cubes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Step 6
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir the potatoes gently, flipping them over to cook on the other side.
Step 7
Continue to cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, for an additional 10-15 minutes or until they are crispy and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the crispy fried potatoes to a serving dish.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh pop of flavor.
