Dry cubed potatoes either in a tea towel or between paper towels, Make sure they're as dry as you can get them.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and butter.
When butter foams, add the potatoes and fry until all sides are crisp and golden. Add the salt, pepper, onion and the 1/2 teaspoon of the herb you are using.If there are some pieces that need further cooking, cover pan and cook for 5 additional minutes.
Add parsley and toss to coat. Add the 1 tablespoon of butter, if you are using it, and toss to coat the potatoes.
Notes
If you’re not going to cook them immediately, place the potatoes in a bowl of acidified water (see post)If using dried herbs, use HALF the amount specified for fresh.Post contains affiliate link(s)
