Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 large Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Beer (lager or ale)
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Peel the onions, cut them in half, and slice thinly into half-moons. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the onion and garlic mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to begin browning slightly.
Pour in the beer and add the fresh thyme sprigs. Stir to distribute the liquid evenly.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has reduced to create a thick, flavorful coating.
Remove the thyme sprigs and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own for a comforting meal.
