Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound (450g) potatoes, Note 1 (3-4 potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoon oil, Note 2
  • 1/2 cup (52g) chopped green onions (4-5 green onions)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or kosher salt ((or more to taste))
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ((or more to taste))

Instruction

  • PREPARE AND PRE-COOK POTATOES: 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 inch (2.5cm) cubes.
  • PAN FRY POTATOES: Heat oil in large skillet to medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes 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. Timing is approximate and will depend on how well your pan conducts heat and how brown you like your potatoes.
  • ADD ONIONS TO FINISH: Add chopped green onions. Stir for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately.
