Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes, diced into small cubes
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2–3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Garnish Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by washing and cutting into uniform cubes, ensuring even cooking and crispy texture.
- Slice onions thinly to create delicate, translucent ribbons that will caramelize beautifully.
- Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (around 350°F) to create an ideal cooking environment.
- Carefully distribute potato cubes across the skillet’s surface, seasoning generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for robust flavor.
- Allow potatoes to cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, developing a golden-brown crust by resisting frequent stirring.
- Gently turn potatoes to ensure even browning, continuing to cook for another 5-6 minutes until edges become crisp and golden.
- Introduce sliced onions to the skillet, spreading them evenly among potato cubes to promote uniform caramelization.
- Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions turn soft and translucent with rich golden edges.
- Evaluate seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if necessary to enhance overall taste profile.
- Remove skillet from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Transfer immediately to serving dish and enjoy while potatoes remain crisp and onions are perfectly caramelized.
Notes
- Achieve perfectly crispy potatoes by ensuring they are cut into uniform, bite-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for superior heat distribution and a golden, crispy exterior on the potatoes.
- Prevent sticking by patting potatoes dry before adding to the pan and using enough olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Customize the dish by adding bell peppers, bacon bits, or herbs like rosemary for extra flavor complexity.
