Step 1
Toast poppy seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer seeds to a small bowl. Add mustard oil to the same skillet and increase heat to medium-high.
Step 3
Add potato cubes and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until the bottoms brown, then toss and cook 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
When potatoes are golden and tender inside (pierce with a fork), add toasted poppy seeds, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Step 5
Divide lettuce between two plates. Top with warm potatoes and scatter sliced red onions over and around.
Step 6
Serve warm, squeezing a bit of fresh lemon over each plate if desired.
