We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat oil in a very large skillet over high heat for about 1 minute. Add potatoes, onions, salt, peppers and garlic, stirring well.

  • Step 2: Cook about 10 minutes. Each time mixture begins to brown and stick excessively, stir and scrape pan bottom well.

  • Step 3: Reduce heat to low and cook until mixture is mottled brown throughout, about 20 minutes, stirring and scraping only occasionally.

  • Step 4: Add 1/2 cup stock and scrape pan bottom well. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring only once or twice.

  • Step 5: Add 1/2 cup additional stock and cook another 5 minutes, stirring and scraping well, and breaking up about half of the potato pieces. Potatoes should be half creamed and half lumpy.

  • Step 6: Add remaining stock and green onions, stirring well. Cook about 5 minutes more, stirring and scraping occasionally.
