Crispy Fried Potatoes with Onions Recipe

Crispy Fried Potatoes with Onions Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
• 1 large onion, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prep the Potatoes:
   • Boil the sliced potatoes in salted water for about 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to become tender but still firm. Drain well and let them dry for a few minutes. This step helps in getting them crispy when fried.
2. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet, heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat.
3. Fry the Onions:
   • Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they start to become translucent and slightly golden.
4. Add the Potatoes:
   • Add the parboiled potato slices to the skillet with the onions. Spread them out evenly over the pan. Let the potatoes fry without stirring for a few minutes to allow them to develop a golden crust on the bottom.
   • Stir occasionally, flipping the potatoes carefully to crisp up all sides evenly. Season with salt and pepper during this process.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
   • Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for added color and flavor.
   • Serve hot as a side dish with your main meal.

This dish is excellent with breakfast items like eggs and bacon, or as a hearty side to dinners featuring meat or fish. It’s simple, satisfying, and very versatile. Enjoy cooking and savoring this delicious potato dish! If you have any more questions or need another recipe, feel free to ask.
