Ingredients

Scale

4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

1. Prep Your Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
2. Sauté Onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté sliced onions until translucent.
3. Add Potatoes: Toss in the diced potatoes with the onions. Stir gently, allowing them to cook undisturbed for a few minutes to form a crust.
4. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture.
5. Crisp Up: Cook for 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until potatoes are golden-brown and crispy outside but tender inside.
6. Garnish (Optional): Add fresh herbs before serving for an extra flavor boost.
