Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and dice them into ½-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion. Set aside.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Make sure they are as dry as possible to help them crisp up during cooking.
Step 4
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 5
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, spreading them out as evenly as possible. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, to allow a golden crust to form on the bottom.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped onion and caraway seeds over the potatoes, then stir gently to combine. Spread the mixture out again into a single layer.
Step 7
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, and the onions are caramelized.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the fried potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or alongside your favorite main course. Enjoy!
