Cover 2 lbs of small red potatoes with water by an inch.

Bring the water to a boil and simmer the potatoes for 10 minutes.

Loosely chop 2 onions, using 1 onion per pound of potatoes.

In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add the chopped onions.

Sauté the onions until they are golden brown, adding a little salt while cooking.

After the potatoes have rested for 5-10 minutes, quarter them and slice each quarter in half.

Remove the cooked onions from the pan and set aside.

Put the pan back on the heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Add the quartered potatoes to the pan and fry them over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes to crisp up the sides.

After 15 minutes, sprinkle paprika over the potatoes and add the cooked onions back into the pan.

Add salt to the potatoes and fry for another 5 minutes until ready.
