Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices or small cubes, depending on your preference. Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Slice the onion into thin rings or strips.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Step 4
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to become golden.
Step 5
Push the onions to the side of the pan and add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes without stirring to allow them to brown on one side.
Step 6
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Gently stir to combine the seasonings with the potatoes and onions.
Step 7
Continue to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. This dish pairs beautifully with eggs, grilled meat, or a light salad.
