Instructions
-
Cook the potatoes – Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until crispy and golden brown. (If using frozen hash browns, cook according to package instructions.)

Serve and garnish – Sprinkle with green onions or parsley and enjoy!
