Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into small cubes or wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Add the dried potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown.

  3. 5

    Season and Stir

    Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Add Optional Ingredients

    If using, add diced onion and bell pepper during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Stir in fresh parsley before serving.
