Fried potatoes & onions

Here’s a classic fried potatoes & onions recipe—crispy, comforting, and easy to make:

🥔 Fried Potatoes & Onions

Ingredients

• 3–4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work best)

• 1 medium onion

• 2–3 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)

• Salt, to taste

• Black pepper, to taste

• Optional: garlic powder or paprika

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes: Wash and slice them into thin rounds or small cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel (this helps them crisp).

2. Slice the onion into thin strips.

3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Cook potatoes first: Add potatoes in an even layer. Let them cook without stirring for 4–5 minutes so they brown.

5. Flip and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mostly tender.

6. Add onions and a pinch of salt and pepper.

7. Cook together for 5–8 more minutes, stirring gently, until onions are soft and potatoes are golden and crispy.

8. Season to taste and serve hot.

Tips for extra flavor

• Add a little butter at the end 🧈

• Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley

• Serve with eggs or as a side dish
