Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and chop them into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them—they should hold their shape.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely chop the onion.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until it becomes golden and slightly crispy.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and set aside.
To the skillet with the onions, add the butter and stir until melted.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and gently toss them with the buttery onions to coat evenly. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Season the potatoes with salt, black pepper, and additional butter if desired.
Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley, then sprinkle them over the potatoes. Gently toss everything together to combine.
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy!
