Fried potatoes and onions are a classic and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side or even as a main course. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- Potatoes (2-3 medium-sized)
- Onion (1 large)
- Olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) for additional flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients: Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized cubes or slices. Peel and slice the onion.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Cook Onions: Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté them until they become translucent and start to caramelize. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Potatoes: Once the onions are cooked, add the potato slices to the pan. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings you prefer over the potatoes and onions. You can also add garlic powder, paprika, or herbs for extra flavor.
- Cook Until Golden Brown: Cook the potatoes and onions, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges. This may take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of your potato pieces and the heat of your stove.
- Serve: Once the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the pan and drain any excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own.
Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Some people like to add bell peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables for added variety. Experiment with different seasonings to create a dish that suits your palate.
