Here’s a simple and classic Fried Potatoes and Onions recipe—crispy, savory, and perfect as a side dish 🥔🧅
🥔 Fried Potatoes and Onions
🧺 Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced or diced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or fresh herbs (like parsley)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep Ingredients
- Slice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Slice onions thinly.
- Heat Pan
- In a large skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat until hot.
- Cook Potatoes
- Add potatoes in a single layer. Cook 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden.

🌟 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.
