Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of yellow potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons of salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • First, wash and peel the potatoes. Then, quarter them and nuke them in the microwave for about 3 minutes. Then let them cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a cast iron pan add the oil and butter. Then, dice the potatoes into about 1/2 an inch then add them to the skillet on medium heat.
  • The trick here is to use both oil and butter – together they’ll help get that nice toasty crunch. Cook on medium for about 3-5 minutes before you toss them – during the first round sprinkle on the seasoning – in this recipe I used salt and pepper along with garlic and onion powder.
  • Then, toss and let them cook for another 3-5 minutes until the other side browns. Keep doing this until they’re cooked through and nice and brown.
  • Then, once they’re good and brown, you’re done!
  • Add the chopped green onions and serve up.
