🥔 Fried Potatoes and Onions

🧺 Ingredients (serves 2–4)

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or diced

• Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or fresh herbs (like parsley)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

   • Slice onions thinly.
2. Heat Pan
   • In a large skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat until hot.
3. Cook Potatoes
   • Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden.
4. Add Onions
   • Add onions to the skillet. Cook another 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and potatoes are crispy.

🌟 Tips

• For extra crispiness, soak potato slices in cold water for 15 minutes before frying, then pat dry.
• Use a heavy skillet for even cooking.
• Add a little garlic or paprika for extra flavor.

If you want, I can give a one-pan version with bell peppers and bacon that’s even more flavorful.
