Here’s a simple and delicious Fried Potatoes and Onions recipe for you!
Fried Potatoes and Onions
Ingredients:
-
4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold work well)
-
1 large onion (yellow or white)
-
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (or a mix)
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
-
Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs (like parsley)
Instructions:
-
Prep the potatoes:
Peel the potatoes (optional) and slice them into thin rounds or small cubes—whatever you prefer. Try to keep them fairly uniform so they cook evenly. -
Prep the onions:
Peel and slice the onion thinly into rings or half-rings. -
Heat the pan:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil or butter and let it warm up. -
Cook potatoes:
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer if possible. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes so they start to brown on one side. -
Add onions:
Add the sliced onions to the pan with the potatoes. Stir gently to combine. -
Continue cooking:
Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the onions are soft and caramelized. If needed, add a little more oil to prevent sticking. -
Season:
Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices or herbs you like. -
Serve:
Serve hot as a side dish with eggs, meat, or enjoy on its own!
