This recipe will show you how to make perfectly crispy fried potatoes with a golden crust and a soft, fluffy center. These potatoes are the perfect side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and are quick and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized cubes.
- Rinse the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
- Heat vegetable oil (or butter) in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overcrowded.
- Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until they develop a golden crust on the bottom.
- Flip the potatoes gently and continue to fry, stirring occasionally, until all sides are golden and crispy (about 10-15 minutes total).
- Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder (if using).
- Remove the potatoes from the pan and drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
