Fried Potatoes & Green Onion

Category: Potatoes

1 lb potatoes (3-4 potatoes)
3 Tbsp oil olive oil (you can also use half butter, half oil)
1/2 cup chopped green onions (4-5 onions)
1/2 tsp salt or kosher salt (or more to taste)
1/4 tsp black pepper (or more to taste)


1. Pierce each potato once or twice with a sharp knife. Cook in microwave on High for 6-8 minutes until tender and a knife can easily slide into potato. If potatoes are large, this might take an extra few minutes. Transfer to cutting board and cut potatoes into 1" cubes.
2. Heat oil in large skillet to medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes in a single layer to bottom of the pan and fry undisturbed for 4 minutes. Sprinkle with half of salt and pepper. Flip potatoes and fry on second side for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown with a crispy crust. Season with remaining salt and pepper.
3. Add chopped green onions. Stir for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
