Serves 2

1 small unpeeled potato
1 small unpeeled yam (or sweet potato)
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp chili powder
salt, sprinkle
pepper, sprinkle

Poke a fork into the potato and yam in several places. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Use the oven mitts to turn them over. Microwave for another 3 minutes. The potato and yam are cooked when you can easily poke them with the fork. Let them stand for about 5 minutes until cool enough to handle. Cut them into cubes.
Heat the butter and cooking oil in a frying pan on medium high heat until the butter is melted. Add the potato and yam. Stir.
Sprinkle with remaining 3 ingredients. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the potato and yam cubes are browned around the edges and the mixture is hot.
