Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 medium all-purpose potatoes, boiled, peeled and diced small
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1

In a heavy medium saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat.
2

Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the saute pan, pressing down on them slightly with a spatula.
3

Season with salt and pepper and cook until the potatoes begin to brown on the bottom, 6 to 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent sticking.
4

Pour 1 tablespoon of the melted butter over the top of the potatoes.
5

Place a large plate over the pan and invert the potatoes onto the plate.
6

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan, slide the potatoes back in, and brown on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
7

Season with salt and pepper and slide onto a platter.

Serve immediately.
