Ingredients

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
0.25 teaspoon paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Microwave potatoes on a plate until tender, about 4 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into bite-sized pieces for optimal crispiness.
Melt butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes in a single layer, and season generously with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for maximum flavor.
Cook, tossing occasionally, until potatoes are reddish-brown, crusty, and perfectly crispy around the edges, about 10-12 minutes. Lower heat if needed. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately.
