How To Cook Potatoes On The Stove
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil or unsalted butter
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley finely chopped, for optional garnish
Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and dicing them into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse the diced potatoes under cold, running water to remove excess starch (this will help with crispiness). Make sure to pat them dry thoroughly using kitchen paper or a clean dish towel.
- Place a heavy-bottomed 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 the optional garlic powder and/or smoked paprika powder. 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 the potatoes to a serving plate using a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve hot.
