Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb Yukon gold potatoes diced but not peeled
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 large banana shallot finely chopped
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley or chives or a mixture of both
Instructions
- Cook the diced potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over a medium heat in a cast iron skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shallot with a pinch of salt and cook until soft and just starting to brown. This should take around 5 minutes. Scrape the cooked shallots from the pan and set aside.
- Return the skillet to the heat and turn it up to medium high heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted and frothy, add the potatoes, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using) and season generously with more salt and pepper. Fry the potatoes, stiring them around in the pan to make sure all of the sides brown for about 10 minutes until crispy.
- Stir in the cooked shallots and cook for a further minute until heated through. Check the seasoning and remove from the heat.
- Stir in fresh herbs and serve immediately.

- Reheating: Reheat any leftovers in the skillet with a small piece of butter to help them crisp up as they will go soggy in the microwave.
