Heat mustard oil in the same skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook without stirring for 4 minutes until the bottoms begin to color.
Step 4
Stir and continue cooking for 4–5 minutes more until potatoes are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
