Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 lb Yukon gold potatoes sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2.5 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan optional
  • 2 tbsp water for quick steam, if needed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick. Rinse briefly and pat very dry.
  • Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter; let butter foam.
  • Arrange potatoes in one layer. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Add water, cover, and cook 8 minutes.
  • Uncover and cook until tender and golden, 6 to 8 minutes, flipping occasionally.
  • Stir in minced garlic and rosemary. Cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Raise heat to medium-high. Toss to crisp edges, 2 minutes.
  • Off heat, add lemon juice, parsley, and Parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes

For extra crisp edges, microwave sliced potatoes for 3 minutes, then finish in the skillet.
Swap smoked paprika for chili powder, or add a pinch of crushed red pepper for heat. Great with eggs at brunch or alongside grilled steak. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; re-crisp in a hot skillet.
