Fried Potatoes and Onions

Recipe written by Roosevelt Lewis

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients:

·        4 large russet potatoes

·        1 large onion, sliced thin

·        4 tablespoons unsalted butter

·        1 teaspoon garlic, minced

·        ¼ teaspoon salt

·        ¼ teaspoon black pepper

·        Water, optional

Directions:

Peel and slice potatoes about ⅛ inch thick or thinner. Slice onion thinly.

In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, melt unsalted butter.

Add sliced potatoes and onions. Cover and fry for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the potatoes and onions over so they do not break apart. Add minced garlic to pan.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and continue to fry. Remove cover. Fry for 5 minutes or until potatoes begin to turn slightly brown; turning occasionally.

Optional: Add water or stock to potatoes after they are brown. Cover potatoes. Cook for about 5 minutes. If you prefer your potatoes crisp, then do not add liquid.

Note: Add 1 green bell pepper for Potatoes O’Brien. When you add fresh parsley to this dish you have Lyonnaise potatoes.
