Ingredients  

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oils
  • 3 Russet potatoes - peeled
  • 1 large onion - thinly sliced used yellow onion
  • To taste salt and pepper

Optional:

  • 1 tsp 2g garlic powder
  • 1 tsp 2g red pepper Flakes
  • 1 tbsp 3g, chopped chives

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, heat oil (1/4 vegetable oil) in a cast-iron skillet or saute pan.
  • Cut onions and potatoes to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • To the hot oil, add onions and potatoes carefully. Season with pepper and salt. Add red pepper flakes and garlic powder.
  • Stir frequently until onions and potatoes are tender. This should take about 15 minutes. To make the potatoes and onions creamier, you can cover the skillet.
  • To drain the excess oil transfer to a plate lined using paper towels. (Let it dry for about 1 minute)

Notes

- Make sure your potatoes and onions are properly coated in oil before frying. This will help prevent sticking and ensure a crispy finish.
- For best results, fry the potatoes and onions in small batches so that they can cook evenly.
- Be careful not to overheat the oil or the potatoes and onions will turn to mush.
