Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnishing later.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 6-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown. Stir the potatoes occasionally to ensure they cook evenly, and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until tender and crispy.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized to a light golden brown color.
Once the potatoes are cooked, add the caramelized onions to the skillet with the potatoes. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture.
Gently toss everything together to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings and onions. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the home fries to a serving plate. Garnish generously with the chopped fresh chives.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Home Fries with Onions and Chives!
