Italian Pan-Fried Potatoes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Pierce the potatoes with a fork and microwave until cooked, about 9 minutes. Let them cool for about 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

  3. 3

    Warm 1 tablespoon oil and the butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Cook the onion and the garlic with salt and pepper until tender and sweet, 5 to 7 minutes. Take off the heat.

  4. 4

    Heat enough of the remaining oil to coat the bottom of a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes in batches, ensuring they are not crowded. Turn them carefully until golden and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Keep the first batch in the preheated oven while the second batch cooks.

  5. 5

    Add the olives to the second batch and cook for 1 minute. Add the potatoes from the oven and the onion-garlic mixture. Toss in the pan until everything is heated. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
