Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into even rings.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Drain and pat the potato slices dry with kitchen towels. Add them to the skillet in an even layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the onions to soften and caramelize slightly.
Sprinkle in the fresh rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to coat the onions and potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt, mixing it into the dish for extra richness.
Stir in the minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking to release its aroma without burning.
Cook until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the onions are fully caramelized, about 5-8 more minutes.
Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper to taste.
Serve warm as a side dish to meats, poultry, or fish, or enjoy as a standalone vegetarian dish.
