Ingredients

3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon butter
1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes quartered
1 yellow onions
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 Tablespoon Italian Herb Seasoning

Instructions

Quarter the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Heat the oil and butter in a 10 to 12 inch skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the potatoes and toss to coat with oil and butter. Once coated, arrange in a single layer as best as possible.
Cover with a tight fitting lid and allow to cook on medium-low for ten minutes. After which, flip the potatoes and add the diced onion. Cover and cook for another five minutes.
Add all the spices and do a final flip of the potatoes and onions. Cook uncovered for another five minutes. Test with a fork for doneness. Use a set of tongs as needed to brown any sides that were missed.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
