Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside in cold water to prevent browning.
Step 2
Slice the onion into thin rings and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
Step 4
Drain and pat the potato slices dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Add the sliced onions to the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and caramelized.
Step 8
Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine without breaking the potatoes.
Step 9
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 10
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.
