Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley. Set aside.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the potato slices for 3-4 minutes until tender but not fully cooked. Drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes until they are soft and lightly caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, heat the remaining butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched potato slices in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and fry for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as they cook.

Step 8

Once all the potato slices are golden and crispy, return the caramelized onions to the skillet and toss gently with the potatoes.

Step 9

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley.

Step 11
