Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices or small cubes, depending on your preference. Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the onion into thin rings or strips.
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to become golden.
Push the onions to the side of the pan and add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown on one side.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Gently stir to combine the seasonings with the potatoes and onions.
Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with eggs, grilled meat, or a light salad.
