SERVINGS4
CALORIES221cal


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Little potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 small yellow onions (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • salt and pepper
  • fresh parsley for garnish


Directions

  • Cut potatoes into 1/4" thick slices. Place in a large pot of cold water and add 1 teaspoon salt.
  • Bring to a boil and boil 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Drain and spread onto a paper towel lined plate to dry and cool slightly.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with canola oil. Add half of the onions and cook until translucent and tender.
  • Add half of the parboiled potatoes to the onions in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and potatoes are crispy (not every potato will be crispy, but there should be a good amount of browned edges).
  • Remove potatoes and onions to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining onions and potatoes. When the second batch of potatoes are crispy and golden, stir the first batch back into the pan to heat through.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before
