Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb russet or Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tbsp avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for serving

Method
 

  1. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes, keeping them even.
  2. Heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add potatoes in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss to coat, then spread back into a single layer.
  4. Cook 6 to 8 minutes more, tossing once or twice, until deeply golden and fork-tender. Plate, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

The potatoes finish crispest right out of the pan, so time them to hit the table as soon as they're done. If you need to hold them briefly, a warm oven set low works, but the edges soften a touch.
