Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2-4

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 3 medium Russet potatoes, peeled
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced

• Optional add-ins:
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon (3 g) chives, chopped

Instructions:

Step 1:

1. Over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil in a sauté pan or cast-iron skillet.
2. Add the peeled and sliced potatoes and the thinly sliced onions to the heated oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add optional ingredients like garlic powder and red pepper flakes at this point.

Step 2: 3. Allow the potatoes and onions to cook, turning them frequently, for 10-15 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and soft. You can cover the skillet if desired to aid in cooking and generate a creamier texture.

Step 3: 4. After cooking, drain the excess oil on a platter lined with paper towels for a few minutes.

5. Top the fried potatoes and onions with chopped chives and serve!

Tips:

• If you want to enhance the flavor, try cooking it in butter or bacon grease instead of vegetable oil and consider adding some chopped dill. Just remember to use caution when using butter on high heat because it burns more rapidly than vegetable oil.
• You can serve this recipe with ketchup, but it’s also delicious with garlic aioli or honey mustard sauce! Enjoy your Fried Potatoes and Onions!
