Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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
