FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Fried potatoes and onions make for a simple yet delicious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The combination of crispy potatoes and sweet caramelized onions is a classic comfort food. Here’s a straightforward recipe for making fried potatoes and onions:

4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

2 large onions, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Prepare Potatoes and Onions:

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Similarly, thinly slice the onions.

Preheat the Skillet:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is large enough to accommodate the potatoes in a single layer.

Cook the Onions:

Add the sliced onions to the hot skillet. Cook and stir occasionally until the onions become translucent and start to caramelize. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.

Add Potatoes:

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer to ensure they cook uniformly.

Seasoning:

Season the potatoes and onions with salt, pepper, and paprika if you’re using it. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.

Cook Until Golden Brown:

Allow the potatoes to cook without stirring for a few minutes until the bottom layer turns golden brown. Then, flip the potatoes to brown the other side. Repeat this process until all the
potatoes are crispy and golden.

Check for Doneness:

Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. They should be tender on the inside while maintaining a crisp outer layer.

Garnish and Serve:

Once the potatoes are cooked through and crispy, transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Serve Warm:

Fried potatoes and onions are best served immediately while they are hot and crispy. They make a fantastic side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Tips:

Variations: Feel free to add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite herbs for added flavor.
