Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 small yellow potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter ghee, or bacon fat
- 2 teaspoons spice blend of choice Adobo by Primal Plate is my personal favorite,Meat & Potatoes is a close second
- fresh chopped chives for garnish optional
Instructions
- Microwave method: wrap each potato in 1 very wet paper towel. Microwave all 4 potatoes together on high for 4 minutes, adding time (if needed) until they're soft enough to give with a poke. Let cool to touch.
- Oven method: place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 F for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they're soft. Let cool to touch.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet and then using the back of a spatula or large spoon, smash the potatoes until they're about 1/2-inch thick. Season liberally with the blend of your choice and then pan sear for about 2 minutes, or until crispy looking, and then flip to cook the other side for the same amount of time.
- Add more seasoning, if desired, garnish with the chives, and enjoy warm!
