Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 2

Cut the onion in half and slice it thinly into half-moons.

Step 3

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.

Step 4

Add the potato slices to the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden-brown crust on the bottom.

Step 5

Flip the potato slices and add the sliced onions to the skillet. Stir gently to combine.

Step 6

Season the potatoes and onions with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.

Step 7

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the onions are caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the fried potatoes and onions to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
