Fried Potatoes and Onion is a classic comfort dish made with sliced potatoes pan-fried until golden and tender, then tossed with sweet caramelized onions.
Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes in an even layer. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften.
Add the sliced onion and cook uncovered, stirring gently, until the potatoes are golden and the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Season with salt, black pepper, and optional spices to taste.
Cook for a few more minutes until desired crispness is reached. Serve hot.
Notes
Slice potatoes evenly for best results. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve crispy edges.
