Peel the potatoes and chop them into large pieces. If you have baby potatoes, you can use them instead.

Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and a chunk of butter in a frying pan until the butter melts.

Add the chopped potatoes to the pan once the butter is melted.

Sprinkle 1 tsp of salt evenly over the potatoes.

Cook the potatoes on medium-low heat, flipping them occasionally until golden brown and fully cooked. Check doneness by piercing with a chopstick; it should go through easily.

Sprinkle 3 tbsp of sugar evenly over the potatoes. Add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter taste.

Add a pinch of black pepper and mix well.
