While we were cooking these potatoes, we thought there was too much oil. But, once the potatoes are softened they absorb all the flavor from the butter and oil and caramelize beautifully. This is an old havefashioned recipe that reminds us of cooking in the kitchen with Grandma. They are almost like hash browns but without shredding or dicing the potatoes. Once fried, the potatoes are a little crisp outside and soft inside. Onions add tons of flavor. A delicious side dish you could serve at breakfast or dinner. My husband, Mark, is a meat and potatoes man. He absolutely loves this fried potatoes and onions recipe! He will actually eat this as his main meal. It is wonderful comfort food.
Ingredients :
- 2 pound(s) yukon gold potatoes (4 medium) scrubbed, partially cooked and sliced thinly or diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup(s) olive oil
- 3 - 4 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, yellow or vidalia
- - salt and pepper, to taste
Intructions :
- Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
- Add the potatoes and spread them evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed until the potatoes are golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes
- Carefully turn the potatoes to ensure even browning and add the onion to the skillet
- Continue cooking, turning the potato and onion mixture every few minutes, until the potatoes are well browned and the onion is softened and caramelizing, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
