Ah, simple and classic—potatoes and onions can be turned into a delicious side dish with just a few ingredients 🥔🧅 Here’s a versatile method:
🥔🧅 Sautéed Potatoes and Onions
⏱️ Time
- Prep: 5–10 minutes
- Cook: 20–25 minutes
🛒 Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled or scrubbed, diced or thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic, paprika, fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)
🔥 Instructions
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown.
- Add onions (and garlic if using). Cook another 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and onions are caramelized.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Sprinkle fresh herbs before serving if desired.
🌟 Variations
- Crispy hash-style: Cut potatoes smaller and cook over medium-high heat until crispy.
- Oven-roasted: Toss potatoes and onions with oil and seasoning; roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Cheesy version: Sprinkle shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Smoky: Add smoked paprika or a dash of bacon bits.
This is a super flexible side—perfect with eggs, grilled meats, or even on its own for breakfast or dinner 😄
If you want, I can give a classic southern-style skillet version that’s extra caramelized and flavorful. Do you want me to do that?
