Crispy Garlic Potatoes

My mom makes these perfectly crisped potatoes that are a great side to any meal, so I had to try them myself!  Potatoes are a great base that you can add so many different flavors to.  Here, I used garlic salt, lemon pepper, and paprika.  Great flavor combination!

Crispy Garlic Potatoes

Pieces:

1. one bag of small white potatoes
2. 3 tbsp. olive oil
3. 1 tbsp. garlic salt
4. 1 tbsp. lemon pepper
5. 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
6. 1 tbsp. dried rosemary

Process:

1. Wash the potatoes and cut each one in half.
2. Steam them… either in a steamer or with a steamer insert and covered over boiling water.  Steam about 8 minutes, until fork tender.
3. Let them cool and dry out.  The drier the better.  (Mom is right about this… secret step to getting them crispy.)
4. Coat a large saute pan with the olive oil over medium high heat.  Let the oil heat for 1-2 minutes.
5. When the potatoes are very dry, put them in the large saute pan with the olive oil.
6. Add the garlic salt, lemon pepper, paprika, and rosemary.
7. Stir every couple minutes until they get to desired crispness, about 8-10 minutes.
