Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes or wedges, about 1-2 cm thick.
2. Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Sprinkle the fried potatoes with salt, black pepper, and paprika, tossing gently to coat.
6. Remove from heat and transfer the potatoes to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
