As much as I love browsing for recipes online, I relish reading cookbooks and magazines. There’s nothing like leafing through the pages of a new or trusty publication. So I was delighted when my brother surprised me with a subscription to Food Network Magazine on Christmas.
For one thing, I watch Food Network religiously. And two, it’s always exciting to get something in the mail that’s not a bill or circular. The April “big breakfast” issue just arrived and it’s packed with stacks, spit in the eyes and these gorgeous garlic home fries.
Pan-fried in butter and olive oil, and then seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic and parsley, these savory spuds are the perfect accompaniment to eggs, straight up, roast chicken or even leafy greens. They’re crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside and extremely addictive. Don’t believe me? Try out the recipe!
Recipe adapted from Food Network.
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ½" cubes
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more, to taste
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ onion, diced
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover and cook over medium-high heat until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain.
- Roughly chop garlic. Sprinkle parsley and ½ teaspoon salt over garlic; chop until finely minced. Set aside.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large fry pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and spread in a single layer. Cook, without stirring, until they start to brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Add onion and smoked paprika; flip potatoes and cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes.
- Stir once more and cook until potatoes are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done cooking, add the garlic mixture to the pan and toss to coat; cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
