I say the word "great" too much :)
ingredients
2 T olive oil
2 T butter
6 small to medium yukon gold potatoes
seasoning salt
pepper
1 medium onion
chives (optional)
directions
Rinse and scrub the potatoes well.
Pierce each potato with a fork several times and place them on a microwavable plate.
Microwave them on the ‘potato’ setting just until they are tender (you don’t want them 100% cooked) and you can easily poke them with a fork.
Set the plate aside to let the potatoes cool.
In the meantime, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is very hot, add in the olive oil and 1 T. of the butter.
Cut the potatoes into large chunks and place them in the hot pan.
Cook the potatoes over medium high heat until they are golden brown on all sides. Don’t disturb them too frequently! They need time to brown and stirring them constantly will prevent them from browning. Use a spatula to gently toss them every couple minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper as they cook.
When the potatoes are brown on almost all sides, dice the onion and add it to the pan with the remaining butter.
Continue to cook and toss occasionally until the onions are also browned.
Remove from the heat, toss with chopped chives if desired, and serve.
