Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 cups Potatoes, cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp parsley, dried or 1 tbsp fresh
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

Method 1

  • Place cubed potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Cook on high for 4-5 minutes or until potatoes are slightly fork-tender.

Method 2

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and boil on a slow boil for 3-4 minutes. Make sure to cook only until slightly fork-tender as the potatoes will finish cooking in the skillet. If too soft, they will not crisp.

Skillet Potatoes

  • While potatoes are par cooking, melt butter in a large skillet.
  • Remove potatoes from microwave oven, or drain if boiled, and add to skillet. 
  • Toss potatoes to mix with the butter.
  • Add spices to the potatoes and sauté approx. 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes have a nice brown (not burnt) crisp. Adjust seasonings if needed.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Cast iron skillet works best for this recipe. However, any deep dish skillet will work. Ensure skillet is large enough for potatoes to form single layer so that potatoes will crisp nicely.
