Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes $1.80
  • ½ yellow onion $0.20
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided $0.24
  • 1 Tbsp butter $0.14
  • 1 ½ tsp salt, divided $0.08
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper, divided $0.04
  • ½ tsp garlic powder $0.05
  • ¼ tsp onion powder $0.03

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes. Add the potatoes to a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 tsp salt. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and allow the potatoes to par-boil for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
  2. While the potatoes are boiling, dice the onion and set it aside.
  3. Now heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the drained potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper over the potatoes.
  4. Allow the potatoes to cook in the skillet undisturbed on one side without stirring for 4-5 minutes. This is very important so the potatoes can get crispy on that side.
  5. After 5 minutes gently stir the potatoes, add the remaining 1 Tbsp olive oil, then add the diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, and the remaining ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper. Give everything another stir and continue to cook for 7-8 more minutes.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions (optional). Serve warm.
