Calories 248kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large baking potatoes , scrubbed clean and dried well
- 2 medium onions , peeled and cut in half, then cut into ¼' thick half slices
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter or your choice of fat (duck, bacon, etc)
- salt & freshly ground black pepper , to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh flat leafed parsley , chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F/204C degrees. **Par-cook potatoes by piercing each one several times with a fork or knife tip and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Allow potatoes to cool slightly.
- Peel the potatoes, if desired, and cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half into ¼" slices. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of butter/fat until melted. Add half of the potatoes and sauté until light brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add half of the onions and a little salt and pepper, then continue cooking until potatoes are a golden brown and onions are just cooked through, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes and onions.
- When all potatoes and onions are cooked, toss with the fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For fluffy potatoes, par-cook using one of the following methods:
- bake (in a 400F/204C degree oven for 45 minutes)
- boil in salted water (for 5 minutes on high heat; drain and dry slices before using)
- microwave (for 3-5 minutes on high)
