Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion (diced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • fresh herbs (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Peel and dice the potatoes into a 1/2" dice.

  2. 2

    Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, then drain.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes to the pan and try to get them on a single, flat layer. Cook without stirring for about 4-5 minutes, so that the bottom side browns.

  4. 4

    Add the diced onion, garlic powder, and paprika, then stir. Saute for another 5-10 minutes, letting the potatoes cook on each side for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the potatoes from the heat. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
