Servings: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 5 medium or 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes peeled
- 2-3 tbsp refined avocado oil
- 3/4 cup red onion diced
- 1 tsp salt + more to taste
- 1 tsp pepper or lemon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat up a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a regular skillet can also work but you will need to transfer to a baking sheet at some point.
- Chop your potatoes into small pieces, from about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter. Once skillet is heated, add in 2 tbsp avocado oil to coat the pan. Toss in onion and potatoes.
- Let the potatoes cook for about 6-8 minutes. You will need to continually stir to be sure the potatoes are evenly cooked and the onion doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. You may need to adjust the heat down to medium a few minutes in to the process, and add an additional tbsp of oil if needed.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven in the cast iron skillet (transfer to a baking sheet if using a regular pan).
- Roast for right around 20 minutes. Start checking the potatoes and 15 minutes to ensure they are slightly crispy and golden. They may need up to 25 minutes in the oven, depending on your desired crispiness.
- Serve hot.
