Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb. baby potatoes, scrubbed clean
Oils & Seasonings
- 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp. freshly chopped rosemary
- 1 tsp. garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. chili powder (optional)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Slice the baby potatoes into coins about ¼ inch thick to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Heat the oils: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the vegetable oil and extra-virgin olive oil until shimmering.
- Cook the potatoes: Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, seasoning with freshly chopped rosemary, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let them cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until golden and crusty on the bottom.
- Flip the potatoes: Turn the potatoes over carefully and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes until the other side is also golden and crispy.
- Add garlic and chili powders: Sprinkle the optional garlic powder and chili powder over the potatoes. Stir occasionally and continue cooking for about 2 more minutes, until the potatoes are tender throughout.
- Serve warm: Transfer the pan-fried potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy while hot as a delicious side.
Notes
- For best results, choose baby potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
- Adjust seasoning quantities according to taste preferences.
- Optional spices add extra flavor but can be omitted for a simpler version.
- If needed, add a splash of water to the pan during the last cooking step to help tenderize potatoes without drying them out.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
