Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pound baby or regular yukon gold potatoes, washed and diced into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the potatoes and dry them gently with a kitchen towel. Dice each potato into 1/2-inch cubes.
- In a large nonstick skillet or cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the diced potatoes along with 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, and ground black pepper. Toss everything to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer and cover with a lid. Cook undisturbed for 10 minutes. After that, uncover the skillet, flip the potatoes, cover again, and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on the bottoms.
- Once the potatoes are tender, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Flip the potatoes using a spatula, turning them every 3 to 5 minutes until they achieve a nice golden brown color.
- Taste the potatoes and adjust the salt if needed. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
For a different flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or parsley as a garnish.
If you prefer extra crispiness, let the potatoes cook a bit longer once they are tender.
