Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds of red potatoes, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, based on preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or rosemary)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Begin by rinsing and dicing the red potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Roast: Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. This will help steam them and cook them through.
- Crisp Them Up: After 15 minutes, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the potatoes to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the heat. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
