Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and diced
Vegetables
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Seasonings and Oils
- 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
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into small, evenly sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Finely chop the small onion to add flavor when sautéed.
- 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 well until each potato cube is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned potatoes and chopped onion directly to the skillet. Cook them, stirring occasionally for about 20-25 minutes, allowing the potatoes to develop a golden brown and crispy exterior while becoming tender inside.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the skillet and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot immediately for breakfast or as a side dish.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for best texture and crispiness.
- Make sure to dice potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder if preferred.
- Fresh parsley garnish adds a nice color contrast and fresh herbal note.
- Keep stirring occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking and to promote even browning.
