Heat the butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high until the butter melts and begins to brown. Swirl the pan, then add the potatoes; shake the pan to arrange them in an even layer. Season with paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Keep tossing the potatoes and cook until they are reddish-brown, crusty, and crispy on the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. If they are browning too fast, lower the heat to medium. Garnish with chives.
