Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by peeling the russet potatoes and slicing them into ¼-inch rounds. Cut the rounds in half to create half-moons.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Add the prepared potatoes and parboil for 5-6 minutes until slightly softened.
In a griddle or cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat until bubbly and foamy.
Arrange the parboiled potatoes in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without stirring.
Flip the potatoes gently and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
Sprinkle the potatoes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Transfer the crispy home fries to a serving dish and serve hot.
