Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
- Peel and dice russet potatoes into ½-inch pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl with a small amount of water.
- Microwave for 6–8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until just fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain well.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook undisturbed for 6 minutes, until the potatoes develop a golden crust.
- Stir and continue cooking for 6–8 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and browned.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Keeping the potatoes the same size helps them cook evenly and crisp up better.
Do not over crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed so the potatoes brown instead of steam.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet for the best texture.
