- 1 1/2 lbs russet or Maris piper potatoes
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 tbs olive oil divided
- 1 tbs butter
Seasoning:
- 2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tsp paprika smoked is best
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Peel potatoes and cut in cubes about 1/2 in/1.25 cm. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Add about 1/2 tsp salt. Bring potatoes to boil and cook for 2 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until the onion is soft--about 5 minutes. Remove onions from the pan and set aside
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and butter to the pan. Add the potatoes in a single layer (if possible). Cook without stirring for 10 minutes so the bottoms become brown and crispy.
Add the onions and seasonings and stir well to combine. If you prefer the potatoes crispier, fry for an additional 5 minutes
