Seasoned Home Fries recipe

Well, hello there! You know what I'm craving for at this very moment? Those cheese fries I had in the Philippines! It's french fries dusted with cheese powder. Does that sound weird? No, you're weird! And those cheese-dusted fries are delicious!

But this recipe isn't that of the cheese-dusted fries I speak of, unfortunately. Sorry to burst your bubble. I enjoyed it. Just kidding! Let's forget what just happened.

Seasoned Home Fries
ingredients:
• ¾ lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled & diced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• ½ tsp seasoned salt (Lawry's Less Sodium)
• ¼ tsp kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• about 5 grinds smoked sea salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp chives, chopped + more for garnish
• ¼ tsp rosemary, minced
• Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, freshly grated
instructions:
1)  Wash potatoes in cold water, drain well, then pat dry with paper towels.
2)  Transfer potatoes in a bowl and add seasoned salt, kosher salt, pepper, smoked sea salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika; toss to coat.
3)  Heat oil and butter over medium heat.  When butter is all melted and the pan is hot, add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 8 minutes.
4)  Flip the potatoes and arrange them in a single layer, then reduce heat to low; cook for 5 minutes undisturbed.
5)  Sprinkle the herbs and continue to cook for 1 minute before tossing everything around.
6)  Sprinkle freshly grated cheese to cover the top and let that melt for 1 minute.
7)  Off the heat. Serve with a garnish of chopped chives and more grated cheese, if desired.
