Place the diced potatoes into a pot of salted, cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they can just barely be pierced with a fork but aren’t too soft. Drain, and transfer the potatoes to a large sheet pan lined with aluminum foil or a large bowl.
1 ½ pounds russet potatoes
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the potatoes in the pan in an even layer, and sprinkle with the seasonings.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon cooking oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, Optional: Italian seasonings
Turn the potatoes every 3-5 minutes, or when they’re nicely browned each on each side. Continue cooking until all sides are browned and crispy.
Serve warm with your favorite breakfast entree. See post for tips and storage options.
