Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 pieces russet potatoes cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 spring rosemary chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Plate or serving dish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly. Peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into even cubes, about 1-inch in size, to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Place your large skillet over medium heat and add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up for a couple of minutes until it shimmers.
  3. Carefully add the cubed potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent them from getting crispy. If necessary, cook in batches.
  4. Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper over the potatoes. Toss them gently to ensure even coating.
  5. Let the potatoes cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring. This will help develop a nice golden crust. After that, use your spatula to flip the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.
  6. In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the chopped rosemary over the potatoes. Stir well to combine and let the flavors meld for a minute.
  7. Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, transfer them to a serving dish. Enjoy them hot as a delightful side dish or snack!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze cooled potatoes in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag.
  • Reheat in a skillet with olive oil for best results.
