Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the potato slices for 3-4 minutes until tender but not fully cooked. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and lightly caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched potato slices in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and fry for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as they cook.
Once all the potato slices are golden and crispy, return the caramelized onions to the skillet and toss gently with the potatoes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein.
