For extra crispy results, consider using clarified butter (ghee) as it has a higher smoke point. Ensure the potatoes are completely cool before frying; this is crucial for achieving maximum crispiness. Don't overcrowd the pan! Cooking in batches will guarantee that each potato chunk gets enough contact with the hot surface to crisp up properly. Experiment with different seasonings! A dash of your favorite hot sauce or a sprinkle of dried herbs can add a unique twist.

01 Step
Recipe View 4 mins Arrange the quartered potatoes evenly on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 4 minutes. Allow the potatoes to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, cut them into uniform, bite-sized chunks.
02 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to lightly brown, creating a nutty aroma. Swirl the pan to evenly distribute the melted butter and oil. Add the cooled, chopped potatoes to the skillet, ensuring they are arranged in a single, even layer. Season generously with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
03 Step
Recipe View 12 mins Cook the potatoes, tossing occasionally, until they develop a rich, reddish-brown color and a delightfully crusty, crispy exterior, about 10-12 minutes. If the potatoes begin to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium. Avoid overcrowding the pan, cook in batches if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped chives just before serving.
