🥔🧅 Fried Potatoes & Onions
🛒 Ingredients
4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet), sliced thin
1 large onion, sliced
3–4 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)
1 tbsp butter (optional, for flavor)
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or fresh parsley
👩🍳 Instructions
Prep the potatoes
Slice thin (about 3–5 mm). For extra crispiness, soak in cold water 10–15 minutes, then dry well.
Heat the pan
Use a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil and butter.
Cook potatoes first
Add potatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to get golden.
Flip & add onions
Turn potatoes, add sliced onions, and season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
Cook until crispy & soft inside
Stir occasionally and cook another 10–15 minutes until everything is golden and tender.
Finish & serve
Taste, adjust seasoning, sprinkle parsley if you like, and serve hot!
🔥 Tips for BEST results
Don’t overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if needed)
Let them sit without stirring too much → crispier edges
Use a cast iron skillet if you have one
