Description

Crispy golden fried potatoes and onions bring Polish comfort to your kitchen. Sizzling slices of potatoes and caramelized onions create a hearty side dish that connects you with traditional Eastern European cooking.


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

  1. Position a robust cast-iron skillet on the stovetop and warm the avocado oil over medium heat, creating a smooth cooking surface.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Let the potato slices rest undisturbed for several minutes, developing a crisp, amber exterior before initiating a rhythmic turning process to guarantee uniform browning.
  5. Continue rotating and shifting the potato slices periodically, maintaining consistent heat and movement to achieve comprehensive cooking and a delectable crispy texture.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
