2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Transfer the sautéed potatoes to a non-stick baking sheet and bake at 475° F for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are nice and crisp. When potatoes are almost done baking, place the cubed Velveeta, salsa, and Tabasco into a microwave-safe bowl (I use a large Pyrex measuring bowl) and microwave for 1 minute; stir and microwave another minute; stir again and microwave for 1 more minute, then stir until smooth. For each serving, place some potatoes in a bowl, then pour over 1/4 of the melted Velveeta cheese sauce, top with some sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped green onion.
