FRIED POTATOES AND ONIONS

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for fried potatoes and onions:

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (or a mix of both)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes and Onions:
   • Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/4 inch thick).
   • Slice the onion thinly as well.
2. Heat the Oil:
   • Heat the vegetable oil or butter (or a combination of both) in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Cook the Onions:
   • Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Sauté them until they begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the Potatoes:
   • Spread the sliced potatoes evenly over the onions in the skillet.
   • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
5. Fry the Potatoes:
   • Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
   • Cook until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, about 15-20 minutes. If they start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
   • If you like them crispy, cook a bit longer until they reach your desired crispiness.
6. Serve:
   • Once done, sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme if using.
   • Serve hot as a side dish or as a main with eggs for breakfast.
