Skillet Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 3 pounds yellow-fleshed baby potatoes, washed and cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- On medium heat, melt the butter and a little olive oil in the skillet.
- Add the salt and pepper, and swirl the pan around to mix the salt and pepper into the melted butter.
- Carefully place the potatoes into the skillet and move them around, coating each piece in the butter.
- Allow the potatoes to sit for a while. Don't move them around the pan too much. Let the heat from the skillet brown the potatoes on each surface. Stir every 5 minutes or so.
- After the potatoes have all turned a deep golden colour, add the paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat.
- Continue to brown the potatoes for a few minutes more before serving.
- And, that's it! Top with green onions or parsley and serve.
Notes
If you want to take these potatoes even further, portion them into oven-proof baking dishes, top with grated cheese and green onions, and place them under the broiler until the cheese is melted. Remove the potatoes from the oven, allow to cool for 3 minutes and top with sour cream. Yum!
