Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 Russet Potatoes large, unpeeled
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda optional
- 3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil divided
- 1/2 Cup White Onion chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter divided
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes, peel if desired, and then cut into half-inch cubes. If you want extra crispy potatoes, start by boiling them. 75% of the time I skip this step to save time.2 Russet Potatoes
- Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda.1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- Cover and bring the pot to a boil. When boiling, uncover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cubes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain well in a colander then pat dry.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet. Add the onions, sauteing until just soft and translucent. Remove from the skillet to a plate, set aside.3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil, 1/2 Cup White Onion
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the same large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer. This might require working in batches and additional oil.3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- Allow the potatoes to brown evenly on each side, crisping up. Stir, and let cook. Sitting still is what allows the browning to happen.
- Remove cooked potatoes to a plate while you finish the other batch(es). Add the potatoes, cooked onions and butter, season with salt and pepper back to the skillet and toss to combine and reheat. Serve hot.1/2 teaspoon Seasoned Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper, 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
