Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch thick.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add the potato cubes to the skillet and spread them out in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden crust on the bottom.
Flip the potatoes carefully using a spatula and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most sides are golden brown.
Add the sliced onions to the pan with the potatoes. Stir well and cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and thyme. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring well to combine and release the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve hot as a side dish or a comforting main.
