Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
- 2 medium-sized Onions
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, for quick and even cooking.
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings or half-rings, depending on preference.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Add the potato slices to the skillet in a single layer. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Season the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika (if using). Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, allowing the bottom to turn golden brown.
Using a spatula, gently flip the potatoes to cook the other side. Add the sliced onions to the skillet, spreading them evenly over the potatoes.
Season the onions with the remaining salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the onions cook down and caramelize evenly.
Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and crispy and the onions are golden brown.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If desired, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot as a side dish, or enjoy with eggs and bacon for breakfast.
