🥔 3-Ingredient Savory Potato & Onion Skillet
Ingredients:
4–5 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced or cubed)
1 large onion (sliced)
2–3 tablespoons cooking fat (butter, oil, or even drippings)
Instructions:
Heat the pan
Add your butter or oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the onions
Toss in the sliced onions and cook until soft and slightly caramelized (about 5–7 minutes). This builds a deep flavor.
Add potatoes
Add the potatoes, stir to coat with the fat and onions.
Cover and cook
Cover the skillet and cook on low-medium heat for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
Crisp them up
Remove the lid, increase heat slightly, and let everything brown and crisp for 5–10 minutes.
Optional (if you have it):
Salt & pepper
Garlic
Paprika or herbs
Why it’s so good:
The onions melt into sweetness
The potatoes soak up all that flavor
The crispy edges + soft inside = perfect texture
This is the kind of meal people made during tough times—simple ingredients, but incredibly comforting and satisfying.
