Description

Ingredients

• 2 Tbl extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tbl butter
• 1/2 cup yellow onion, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 cup red pepper, seeded and chopped into small pieces
• 4 medium-large red potatoes, skin on and cubed
• 1 tsp coarse salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2-3/4 tsp smoked paprika

Directions

• Heat 1 Tbl of oil in a heavy 12” skillet over medium-high heat. Do not let it smoke.
• Add the onion & pepper and cook until browned about 8-10 minutes. Do not let this burn. Stir frequently.
• When done, remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
• While the onions and peppers are cooking add the potatoes into a large sauce pan.
• Add just enough cool water just until the tops of the potatoes are covered and they float slightly.
• Place the pan over high heat.
• As soon as the water begins to boil, remove from the heat and drain the potatoes in a colander. ~5 minutes.
• In the pan the onions and peppers were sautéed in, place it back on the burner to medium-high and add the butter and remaining oil.
• When the butter foams, add the potatoes in a single layer, making sure each potato is touching the surface of the skillet.
• Allow to cook for 4-5 minutes WITHOUT stirring. You want the sides to brown.
• Once browned on one side, carefully flip and brown the other sides. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
• Once all the sides are crispy brown, add the onions and peppers back in and gently stir.
• Next add in the salt, black, pepper and paprika.
• Stir gently and remove from heat.
