How to Make Country Potatoes

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 pounds of cubed potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes).
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned.
  4. Reduce heat to medium.
  5. Add 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Stir to combine.
  6. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Add 1-2 tablespoons more oil if needed to prevent sticking.
