Skillet Roasted Potatoes

11/11/2024 – Very good and inspired by Lord Byron’s Kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds yellow-fleshed baby potatoes, washed and cut into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • green onions or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • On medium heat, melt the butter and a little olive oil in the cast iron skillet.
  • Add the salt and pepper, and swirl the pan around to mix the salt and pepper into the melted butter.
  • Carefully place the potatoes into the skillet and move them around, coating each piece in the butter.
  • Allow the potatoes to sit for a while. Don’t move them around the pan too much. Let the heat from the skillet brown the potatoes on each surface. Stir every 5 minutes or so.
  • After the potatoes have all turned a deep golden colour, add the paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat.
  • Continue to brown the potatoes for a few minutes more before serving.
  • And, that’s it! Top with green onions
