Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon gold potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moon shapes.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced potatoes in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) and sprinkle them evenly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and tender.

Step 5

Once all the potatoes are cooked, return the caramelized onions to the skillet and gently toss them with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite protein or as a standalone vegetarian dish.
