Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the potatoes by peeling and slicing them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the potato slices to the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Additional Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix. You can also experiment with different herbs like rosemary or thyme for added flavor.
