Here’s a simple and tasty way to make Fried Potatoes and Onions:
🥔 Ingredients (2–3 servings)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds or cubes
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or fresh herbs (like parsley)
🍳 Instructions
- Prep the potatoes:
- Rinse sliced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a paper towel.
- Cook the potatoes:
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to get golden.
- Add the onions:
- Add sliced onions to the pan.
- Cook together, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until potatoes are tender and golden brown and onions are soft and caramelized.
- Season:
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional spices or herbs.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Serve:
- Serve hot as a side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
If you want, I can give a crispy restaurant-style version where the potatoes get extra crunchy on the outside while staying soft inside. It’s a little trick with oil and timing. Do you want me to share that?
