Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes
  • ½ yellow onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
  2. Place the diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-high and par-boil for about 5 minutes until they’re slightly tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes using a colander and set them aside.
  5. Dice the yellow onion while the potatoes are draining.
  6. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter over medium heat.
  7. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without stirring until golden and crispy on one side.
  8. Flip the potatoes carefully. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  9. Continue to cook for another 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy outside yet tender inside.
  10. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, allow potatoes to cook undisturbed to develop crispiness. Consider adding spices or herbs for flavor variations.
