Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. While water is heating cut the potatoes into 1/4"-1/2" cubes. Add the potatoes to boiling water and cook about 5 minutes or until they are slightly softened but not fully cooked. Drain and rinse in cool water.

Heat a lare skillet (cast iron works great) over medium heat. Add the 1/4 c butter and heat until melted and bubbly. Add the diced onion and cook about 1 minute or until the onions soften. Add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes (don't touch them). and the sprinkle with paprika, 10 dashes of tabasco and a little salt and pepper. Using a spatula, scrape the bottom of the pan and flip as many potatoes as you can at once. You just want to handle the potatoes as little as possible while getting every surface of the potato a little crispy.

When the potatoes have cooked for another 3-4 minutes, test them for doneness and seasoning, add more Tabasco, salt and pepper to taste. It's hard to overcook these potatoes--they should be a little crispy on the outside but not burned
