📝 Instructions

8 steps
1

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

2

Place the potato slices into a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the potatoes are just fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and let cool slightly.

3

While the potatoes are cooling, thinly slice the onion.

4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.

5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the cooled potato slices in a single layer, working in batches if necessary.

6

Cook the potatoes undisturbed for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden and crispy. Flip the potatoes and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

7

Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, then gently stir in the caramelized onions.

8

Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
