How to Make Basque Style Potatoes

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1.5 pounds of small-diced potatoes (about 2 cups) to the skillet and gently toss to coat with the oil and butter.
  3. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. (Alternatively, substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of your favorite creole seasoning).
  4. Cover the skillet and sauté for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
  5. Add 2-3 cloves of minced fresh garlic to the skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir to combine and allow the garlic to infuse its aroma.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
