Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, round slices about 3-4 millimeters thick. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-moons. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or shallow frying pan over medium heat.
Carefully add the potato slices and onion to the pan. Stir to coat them evenly in the olive oil.
Season the potatoes and onions with salt and black pepper, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the potatoes and onions to cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently every 5-7 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
After 30 minutes, add the sliced garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring carefully. The potatoes should be tender and lightly golden but not crispy.
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a serving dish using a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of the potatoes and onions.
Serve warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light meal. Enjoy!
