Preparazione

1. 1

   Cut potatoes into 3/4-inch pieces. (Peel or peel intact)

2. 2

   Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet or a large, deep stainless steel skillet over medium-high. Add onions. Cook for 2 minutes just until softened and translucent then use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan. Set aside.

3. 3

   Add the remaining oil and the butter to the skillet. Add the cubed potatoes, turning to coat. Cover and cook over medium-low for 15 minutes. Check and gently stir every 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Uncover and add the seasoned salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and onions tossing together until combined.

5. 5

   Cook 10 minutes longer uncovered, flipping potatoes every 5 minutes. Cook until the potatoes are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. (If cooking in batches, add a drizzle of oil to the pan between each batch.)

   Serve immediately garnished with green onions or parsley.
