Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Cutting Board
  • Knife
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Colander
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or neutral-flavored oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Once peeled, chop them into evenly sized cubes, about 1/2-inch in thickness.
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook them for about 5-7 minutes, or until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain in a colander and let cool slightly.
  • Transfer the drained potatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Add paprika, granulated garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
  • Carefully flip the potatoes with a spatula. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all sides are crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove from skillet and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast items.

Notes

  • Spread potatoes in a single layer in the skillet for extra crispiness.
  • Adjust spices to your personal taste preferences.
  • Prep potatoes a day ahead and store in water in the fridge to save time.
