Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs for extra flavor
Instructions:
Start by heating the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes, spreading them out evenly in the pan. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and if you like, sprinkle some garlic powder or paprika for added flavor. Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn golden brown.
Next, add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir well to combine the potatoes and onions, ensuring they are evenly coated with oil. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and caramelized, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender inside. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Once everything is cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. You can garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own!
