Description
Deliciously crispy skillet potatoes cooked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Place potato cubes in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch; drain and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
- Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foam subsides.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer, ensuring the pan is not overcrowded.
- Cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottom layer is golden brown.
- Flip the potatoes using a spatula and continue cooking for another 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are crispy and the centers are tender.
- Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the potatoes are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Serving with your favorite dipping sauce can enhance the flavors.
