Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
1 -2 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 russet potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3/4 inch slices (about 2 lb.)
1 cup chopped red onion
6 green onions, sliced
coarse salt
fresh ground pepper
paprika

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over med-high heat, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Add in potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Decrease heat to medium; add in red and green onions, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste; cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes; add more oil if needed.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the potatoes in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check to see if the potatoes are done by piercing them with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the potatoes are cooked.
  • For extra crispy potatoes, cook them over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • If you like your potatoes spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
