Ingredients

  • 4-5 potatoes pre-baked & diced into 1/2" squares
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 TBSP vegetable oil like coconut or grapeseed
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 dash paprika
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pre-bake 4-5 large potatoes beforehand and refrigerate. You can make a big batch of baked potatoes for another meal and set some aside.

  2. Heat a large frying pan on medium heat until hot, but not smoking.

  3. Peel the cold baked potatoes and dice into 1/2 inch squares. Add vegetable oil and butter to the hot skillet.

  4. Scatter potatoes and onions evenly across the skillet and allow to cook for several minutes, until the undersides start to turn golden brown. 

  5. At this point, add seasonings. Flip potatoes and cook for several additional minutes until heated through and crispy. Stir & serve.

Recipe Notes

For a vegan option, omit the butter and replace with additional vegetable or coconut oil.
