Ingredients
1 ½ pounds baking potatoes (2 or so) peeled and cut into chunks
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 scallions, including the green parts, thinly sliced (about ½ cup)
salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Put the potatoes in a medium sauce pan of salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until tender – about 10 minutes. Drain.
In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or any oven proof frying pan) heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the potatoes, scallions, ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. With the back of a large spoon, press the potatoes into the pan, crushing them slightly.
Bake the potato cake until the edges are golden-brown, about 20 minutes. Loosen the cake with a heatproof spatula if necessary. Cover the pan with a plate, flip over, and remove the pan.
