FRIED POTATOES ONIONS
Fried Potatoes and Onions are a delicious and simple side dish with crispy, golden potatoes and sweet, caramelized onions. Perfectly seasoned and easy to prepare, they’re a great addition to any meal!
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes russet or Yukon Gold work well, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds or half-moons for even cooking. Rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Cook the potatoes and onions: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become caramelized and the potatoes are fully cooked through and crispy.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this easy, flavorful side dish!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
- You can also use sweet potatoes for a slightly different twist.
- To make this dish a bit healthier, use less oil or substitute with a cooking spray.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the skillet for extra crispiness.
- If you prefer softer potatoes, cover the skillet with a lid while cooking to steam them a bit before removing the lid to crisp them up.
