Description
Golden, fluffy potatoes with a perfectly crisp exterior, seasoned with garlic, onion, and smoked paprika. Quick microwave pre-cook ensures restaurant-style crunch in minutes.
Ingredients
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
3 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, optional for finishing
Instructions
Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch cubes and microwave for 4-5 minutes until edges are slightly softened.
Pat the potatoes dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, toss potatoes with cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Working in batches, fry potatoes in a single layer for 5-7 minutes per batch, until golden and crispy.
Transfer to a warm serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and stir in optional butter for extra richness.
Notes
Even potato size ensures uniform cooking. Use a clean dry towel for best crispiness. Adjust oil quantity if necessary for browning.
