Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil or bacon grease
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or bacon grease in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add sliced potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Flip and stir potatoes occasionally for even browning.
  4. Add sliced onions and cook for another 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are golden and potatoes are tender.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak sliced potatoes in water for 30 minutes and dry thoroughly before frying.
  • Red or Yukon Gold potatoes also work well.
  • Bacon bits make a tasty addition.
