Ingredients

Instructions

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.
