How to Cook Potatoes on the Stove
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of Russet potatoes about 4 medium-sized, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons of canola oil or unsalted butter for a richer flavor
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or smoked paprika for added flavor
- Optional: Fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and dicing them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch (this will help with crispiness).
- Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil or butter and let it heat up until it shimmers or the butter is melted.
- Add the potato cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer (do this in batches if your skillet is too small)Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder or smoked paprika (optional). Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Stir occasionally.
- Transfer them to a serving plate using a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle the parsley on top.
