Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, washed and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or thyme, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
  2. Parboil for Tenderness: Place the potatoes in boiling salted water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until they begin to soften but are not fully cooked. Drain and pat dry completely to remove moisture for crispiness.
  3. Heat Butter and Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add olive oil to prevent burning. Sauté the minced garlic gently until fragrant, taking care not to brown it.
  4. Cook the Potatoes: Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer for maximum contact with the pan. Cook undisturbed for several minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until evenly crisp.
  5. Season and Add Herbs: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and optional paprika evenly over the potatoes. Toss in the fresh parsley or thyme and gently stir to combine and infuse flavor.
  6. Serve Warm: Once perfectly crispy and golden all over, remove from heat and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly after boiling to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and ensure crisp edges.
  • Cook over medium heat to prevent butter from burning while developing a deep golden crust.
  • Flip potatoes gently using a spatula to keep the crust intact.
  • Adjust garlic cooking time for flavor preference: early for mellow, late for sharper taste.
