Fried Potatoes and Onions

Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil or olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or paprika (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into uniform cubes, about 1-inch in size.
2. Soak the rinsed potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to extract excess starch.
3. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Once the oil is hot, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
5. Carefully add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and fry for about 10 minutes without stirring.
6. After 10 minutes, gently stir the potatoes to ensure even cooking.
7. After about 15 minutes, when the potatoes begin to soften, add the sliced onions to the skillet.
8. Stir to combine and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices, cooking until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and serve hot.
