Cooking
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked potatoes and sauté until they start to brown, about 5 minutes.

Notes
Serve hot, directly from the skillet. Pair with crispy toast or warm tortillas. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
