Recipe Notes

Content: To test the potatoes for doneness, stick the tip of a paring knife into a few of the potato cubes. The flesh should feel slightly firm, but softer and more tender than before cooking. The potatoes should not feel mushy. Drain the potatoes: Drain the potatoes in a colander, shake off any excess water, and cool for about 5 minutes. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet: Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a wide cast iron pan or large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, season, and cook: When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat with the oil. Spread the potatoes in a single layer across the bottom of the pan, working in batches if necessary.
