Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, diced into ½ inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons avocado or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
- Optional: butter for finishing
Instructions
- Rinse and peel potatoes (optional), then dice into uniform ½ inch cubes.
- Soak potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch; drain and pat dry.
- Preheat Blackstone griddle or skillet to medium-high heat.
- Toss potatoes with oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Spread potatoes evenly on the griddle, avoiding overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 7-10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Flip and stir potatoes every few minutes to brown all sides evenly. Add diced onion and minced garlic halfway through cooking.
- Once potatoes are tender and crispy, turn off heat. Add a pat of butter and fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add fresh rosemary or thyme with the potatoes.
- Cheese lovers can sprinkle shredded cheddar in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Avoid stirring too often early on to allow a crust to form.
