Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Cut the onion in half and slice it thinly into half-moons.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Add the potato slices to the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust on the bottom.
Flip the potato slices and add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
Season the potatoes and onions with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the onions are caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Transfer the fried potatoes and onions to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
