Method
Preparing the Potatoes
- 1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.

Drain and Dry
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to dry completely. This helps achieve maximum crispiness when frying.

Fry Potatoes
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dried potatoes in a single layer. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally.

Season Potatoes
Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to taste.
