Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds yellow potatoes (about 4 medium-sized) -- red or russet potatoes will work, too
- 1 medium onion, coarsely diced
- 1 teaspoon premixed “seasoned salt” (We used Lawry’s, but any similar mixture will do)
- 1 tablespoon oil, avocado or olive
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Dice potatoes into a 1/2-inch cubes
- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat
- Add potatoes and onion with a dash of salt, toss to coat with oil. Sprinkle half of the seasoned salt. Allow to cook for about 5-7 minutes. You want a little color to start to develop on the potatoes and onions.
- Mix potatoes and onions well and sprinkle remaining seasoned salt. Allow to cook for another 5 minutes or so. Again, you want a little color on potatoes.
- Once color has developed, check potatoes doneness with a fork. If tender, add salt and pepper to taste and serve. If potatoes are still somewhat firm, add about a tablespoon of water to the skillet and mix potatoes. This will help steam potatoes without them burning. Wait a couple of minutes and recheck doneness.
