Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder
Instructions
- Peel and rinse potatoes and dry gently in a kitchen towel. Slice each potato into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet (I used cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add in butter and olive oil and stir together to melt and sizzle.
- Add in potatoes and stir to coat each potato in the butter-oil mixture. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and onion powder and stir again.
- Reduce heat to medium and let potatoes cook for 5 minutes before stirring and flipping. Cook another 5 minutes, then flip again.
- Continue the cook-5-minutes-then-flip pattern for 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Taste and adjust the salt as necessary. Serve hot.
