Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
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.
While the potatoes are cooling, thinly slice the onion.
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.
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.
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.
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, then gently stir in the caramelized onions.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
