Prick each potato a few times with a fork. Microwave on High for 6-8 minutes until soft and a knife easily pierces the potato. Larger potatoes may need a bit more time. Move to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes.
PAN FRY POTATOES:
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the potato cubes in a single layer in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Season with half of the salt and pepper. Turn the potatoes and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and pepper as desired. Cooking time may vary based on your pan and desired crispness.
FINISH WITH ONIONS:
Stir in the chopped green onions and cook for 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
