Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside — fried potatoes and onions are the kind of dish that brings comfort with every bite. A timeless, rustic American side ready in 30 minutes, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into half-inch thick slices. Slice the rounds into bite-sized pieces or cubes.
- Place the chopped potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 5 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat very dry with paper towels.
- Slice the onion into thin half-moons and set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the potatoes in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 5 to 7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
- Flip the potatoes and continue cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly browned and tender inside.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and season everything with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
