Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 pounds (1.36 kilograms) potatoes, sliced thin
- 1 yellow onion, sliced thin
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Cooking Oil:
- 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 milliliters) avocado oil, divided
Instructions
- Position a robust cast-iron skillet on the stovetop and warm the avocado oil over medium heat, creating a smooth cooking surface.
- Gently introduce sliced onions into the hot skillet, allowing them to slowly transform into a rich, golden-brown caramelized state through patient sautéing, approximately 10 minutes.
- Drizzle an additional portion of oil into the skillet, then carefully layer the potato slices across the pan’s surface, ensuring maximum contact with the hot surface.
- Let the potato slices rest undisturbed for several minutes, developing a crisp, amber exterior before initiating a rhythmic turning process to guarantee uniform browning.
- Continue rotating and shifting the potato slices periodically, maintaining consistent heat and movement to achieve comprehensive cooking and a delectable crispy texture.
- As the potatoes approach their final stage of cooking, sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper across the surface, gently incorporating the seasonings to enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Transfer the golden-brown potatoes and caramelized onions directly from the skillet to serving plates, presenting a rustic and appetizing side dish that celebrates simplicity and robust flavors.
Notes
- Golden-brown potatoes transform from humble ingredients into a crispy, mouthwatering side dish that steals the spotlight at any meal.
- Caramelized onions add a sweet, rich depth that perfectly complements the crunchy potato exterior, creating a symphony of textures and flavors.
- Cooking low and slow allows each slice to develop a gorgeous golden crust.
