Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes cubed
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 sprig Fresh Rosemary chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes - Begin by washing and peeling the russet potatoes. Cut them into even cubes, about 1-inch in size, to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Step 2: Heat the Skillet - In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. You want the oil hot enough to sizzle when the potatoes hit the pan.
  3. Step 3: Season the Potatoes - In a mixing bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Fry the Potatoes - Carefully add the seasoned potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Allow them to fry undisturbed for about 5 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Flip and Cook - Using a spatula, flip the potatoes over. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  6. Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the skillet and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use less oil (1 tablespoon).
  • Add veggies like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or dill.
  • Sweet potatoes can be used for a healthier alternative.
