Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon paprika
cayenne pepper to taste
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Arrange potato pieces evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until just tender, about 4 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut potatoes into bite-size chunks.
Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When butter melts and starts to turn brown, swirl the pan and add the potatoes. Shake pan to arrange in an even layer. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
As potatoes brown, toss them and keep turning them every few minutes until they are crusty and crispy-edged and a rich reddish-brown color, 10 to 12 minutes. If potatoes seem to be cooking too quickly, reduce heat to medium. Serve topped with chopped chives.

Tips:

To achieve the perfect crispiness, make sure to use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a non-stick pan.
Use high heat to sear the potatoes initially, then reduce the heat to medium-low to ensure even cooking throughout.
Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper, and add additional herbs and spices to taste.
Garnish the finished home fries with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives for an extra layer of flavor and color.
