Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash and peel, if desired, your potatoes. Cut them into small ½-inch cubes and place in a bowl.
In a large skillet, heat a mix of butter and oil over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.
Carefully add the cubed potatoes to the hot skillet, tossing gently to coat with fats.
Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; stir frequently for about 1 minute.
Cover the skillet and steam the potatoes for 3-4 minutes until softening.
Remove the lid and stir the potatoes; continue cooking uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley; serve hot.
