Sauteed Diced Potatoes Recipe
Perfectly seasoned and cooked to crispy perfection, these skillet-roasted potatoes make a perfect side dish. But they are also tasty for breakfast.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds russet potatoes
- 1 Tbsp salted butter
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt or more as needed
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes (or peel them). Cut them into 1/2" cubes. Stir together the seasonings in a small bowl.
- Place the potato cubes in a glass bowl and cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are partially tender. They will lose their shine and become starchy on the outside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large non-stick or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes to the hot skillet and sprinkle the seasonings over the top. Stir until evenly coated.
- Let the potatoes cook in a single layer for 6-7 minutes, then flip.
- Cook for another 6-7 minutes, stirring only as needed, until the potatoes reach your desired crispness.
- Taste and add additional salt if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Want to skip the microwave step? Simply cook your potatoes for
20-24 minutes in the skillet. You may need to turn the heat down to medium if they start to brown before they are tender in the middle. - If you cut your potatoes into larger chunks, increase the cooking time both in the microwave and in the skillet.
