Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 cup yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Peel and slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds, then rinse them under cold water and pat dry.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
  • Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom.
  • Flip the potatoes gently with a spatula, then cook another 7-10 minutes until the other side is golden and potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine all flavors.
  • Remove from heat and serve warm as a savory side dish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, use a cast-iron skillet and avoid overcrowding the pan.
