Herb-Fried Potatoes
Herb-Fried Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work great)
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or vegetable oil for frying)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped (or both)
- 1 tbsp fresh basil or chives, chopped (optional for added flavor)
- Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for freshness
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes or wedges, depending on your preference.
-
Fry the Potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Fry the potatoes for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. If you want them extra crispy, let them sit for a minute before flipping them.
-
Season: While the potatoes are frying, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning over the potatoes as they cook, stirring to coat them evenly.
-
Mix with Fresh Herbs: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the skillet and drain any excess oil on a paper towel. While still hot, toss the potatoes with the freshly chopped herbs: parsley, rosemary, thyme, and basil or chives (if using). The heat will help release the aroma of the herbs.
-
Serve: Serve the fried potatoes in a basket or a serving dish, optionally finishing with a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty kick.
Tips:
- You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra layer of flavor.
- Try mixing in some other herbs, like dill or tarragon, depending on your taste.
These herb-fried potatoes make a fantastic side dish for any meal or a flavorful snack on their own. Would you like a suggestion for a main dish to pair with this?
