Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes cooked
  • 4 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil divided
  • 2 small-medium onions sliced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons butter divided
  • additional spices (optional) e.g. garlic powder, cayenne pepper, paprika powder
  • ¼ cup parsley chopped, lightly packed

Instructions

  • Add the potatoes to a pot with water, bring to a boil, add some salt, cover and cook for 15-20 minutes (depending on the size) until the potatoes are barely tender. Make sure you don't overcook them. Then drain, rinse with cold water, and let them cool off.
  • While the potatoes cook, cut the onions into slices and chop the parsley.
  • Now peel the potatoes and cut them into slices.
  • Preheat some avocado oil or vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in one layer. Then add the onions. Let the potatoes brown, then flip and toss until they are evenly browned.
  • Now add the butter, season with salt and pepper, and toss everything for 1-2 minutes. Then garnish with parsley.
  • Repeat this process until you have used all potatoes and onions. Always use some oil and butter for each round of pan-frying the potatoes and onions. Serve and enjoy!
