Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place the slices in a pot, cover with water, add salt to the water, bring to a boil, and cook until the potatoes are just tender but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and deeply golden/caramelized, about 15–20 minutes. Transfer the caramelized onions to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat over medium-high until the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering.
Working in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary so the slices do not crowd), add potato slices to the skillet and cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip each slice and cook the second side until golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Transfer each finished batch to a plate while you cook the remaining potatoes.
When all potato slices are browned, return all the potatoes to the skillet, add the caramelized onions, and gently toss or stir to combine and heat through.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes
Ensure your skillet is hot before adding potatoes to achieve a perfect golden crisp.
If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.
