π₯ 3-Ingredient Savory Potato & Onion Skillet
Ingredients:
4β5 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced or cubed)
1 large onion (sliced)
2β3 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 5β7 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 15β20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender.
Crisp them up
Remove the lid, increase heat slightly, and let everything brown and crisp for 5β10 minutes.
Optional (if you have it):
Salt & pepper
Garlic
Paprika or herbs
Why itβs 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 timesβsimple ingredients, but incredibly comforting and satisfying.
