Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs (24 ounces) baby gold potatoes rinsed and cut into ½” - 1” cubes (no need to peel)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon light butter (I use Land O’Lakes light butter with canola oil in the tub)
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley and/or fresh chives

Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the chopped potatoes and cook uncovered for 10 minutes until they’re softened, but not quite fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake the colander a bit until no more water comes out.
  • In a small dish, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried thyme, and black pepper and stir together.
  • Put the butter and oil in a large sauté pan and bring over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the potatoes and stir to coat in the butter and oil. Sprinkle the spice mix from step two over the potatoes and stir again until the potatoes are well coated. Continue to cook the potatoes over med-high heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until the outsides of the potatoes are golden and crispy. Remove from heat and sprinkle with herbs if using. Serve immediately.
