Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Once hot, add the oil and chopped onion. (Note: If you don’t want the onions crispy and brown, add them once the potatoes have cooked halfway.)

Season the sweet potato with salt, pepper, and paprika, then add the sweet potato to the skillet and brown before flipping.

Continue to do this until potatoes reach a golden brown hue and you are able to easily pierce them with a fork, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
