These crispy, golden potatoes are easy to make and packed with flavor. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a weekend brunch, this recipe will become a staple in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes: Dice the potatoes into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly. If you prefer, you can leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to develop a crispy crust.
- Add Onions and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- Season: Sprinkle the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
