Mom’s Fried Potatoes and Onions

Instructions:

1. Heat Butter & Oil: Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Cook Potatoes: Add sliced or diced potatoes in an even layer. Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes, allowing one side to become golden brown.
3. Add Onions: Carefully turn the potatoes to brown evenly, then add chopped onions to the skillet.
4. Finish Cooking: Continue turning the mixture every few minutes for 10–15 minutes, until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the onions are softened and caramelized.
5. Season & Serve: Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Par-Cooking: Microwaving the potatoes for 5 minutes before slicing ensures they cook faster and evenly.
• Customization: Feel free to add spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra flavor, or toss in some chopped bell peppers for a colorful twist!

This dish is not only versatile but also a comforting taste of home. Whether as a side dish or the main event, it’s sure to win hearts at your table. 🥔✨
