How To Make mom’s fried potatoes and onions
Test Kitchen Tips
We partially cooked our potatoes in the microwave for 5 minutes before slicing. Also, we did have to cook ours a little bit longer than 15 minutes.
1.Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2.Add the potatoes and spread them evenly in the pan. Cook undisturbed until the potatoes are golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes.
3.Carefully turn the potatoes to ensure even browning and add the onion to the skillet.
4.Continue cooking, turning the potato and onion mixture every few minutes, until the potatoes are well browned and the onion is softened and caramelizing, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
