Ingredients
Ingredients for This Easy 10-Minute Potato Recipe:
3 medium-sized potatoes (any type, though russet potatoes work wonders)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter, if you prefer a richer flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary)
Preparation
Prepare the Potatoes:
Start by washing and peeling your potatoes (if you prefer). However, leaving the skin on can add texture and flavor, plus it’s quicker! Cut the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes for faster cooking.
Cook the Potatoes:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil (or butter). Once the oil is hot, add the potato cubes. Stir occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes. You want them to become golden and crispy on the outside while staying soft on the inside.
Season the Potatoes:
Once the potatoes are beautifully golden, season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
Add Fresh Herbs (Optional):
If you’re using fresh herbs, chop them finely and sprinkle them over the cooked potatoes. This step will elevate the dish and add a fresh, aromatic finish. Rosemary, thyme, and parsley work especially well with potatoes.
Serve and Enjoy:
