Ingredients
- 600 grams Potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 100 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-moons. Peel and finely slice the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or shallow frying pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Carefully add the potato slices and onion to the pan. Stir to coat them evenly in the olive oil.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the contents to a serving dish using a slotted spoon to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top of the potatoes and onions.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a light meal. Enjoy!
