While the potatoes sit for the 5 minutes, saute the onion in the olive oil in a medium non stick pan until golden brown.

Season the potatoes with the pepper, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and piri piri, toss and gently place them in the pan with the onions.
Step 5
Cook the potatoes on low medium heat turning them gently in the pan until they obtain a slight crisp on the edges.
