1
Wash and Prep Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size.
2
Soak Potatoes
Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve extra crispiness.

3
Drain and Dry
After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Preheat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
5
Season Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the dried potatoes with salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
6
Cook Potatoes
Add the seasoned potatoes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the bottom.
7
Flip and Continue Cooking
Using a spatula, carefully flip the potatoes and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
8
Garnish and Serve
If using, sprinkle fresh parsley on top of the home fries before serving. Serve hot as a comforting side dish.
