These crispy fried potatoes and onions come together in one skillet with just a few wholesome ingredients. Golden, savory, and satisfying — the perfect real food side dish for breakfast, brunch, or dinner!
First, slice the potatoes into ¼ inch rounds. For extra tender potatoes, boil the potatoes for 10 minutes. Then rinse and dry.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the oil in. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes in an even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Place a lid on the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes untouched. Then, flip the potatoes. Add in the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes with the lid on.
Remove the lid and turn the heat to medium low. Add in the minced garlic. Stir occasionally, cooking another 10 minutes, or until the onions are cooked through.
Finally, remove from the heat. Serve!
Notes
We highly recommend using gold potatoes for this recipe.
You can peel the potatoes, but the skin gives the potatoes a little more shape and texture.
For extra tender potatoes, pre-boil them for 10 minutes before adding to the skillet. This helps remove the starch and softens them up inside.
Be careful not to burn the potatoes and onions. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
