Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into small, evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Finely chop the onion to prepare for sautéing.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly until all potato pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even browning, for 20-25 minutes. Continue cooking until the potatoes turn golden brown and crispy on the outside while becoming tender on the inside.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the full crispy texture and flavorful spices.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
- You can substitute russet potatoes with Yukon gold for a slightly creamier texture.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder for bolder flavors.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
- Add bell peppers or jalapeños during cooking for a spicy twist.
