Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon sugar (optional, for caramelizing onions)
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the potatoes: Boil diced potatoes in salted water for about 10–12 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

  • Caramelize the onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15–20 minutes until golden brown. If desired, add sugar to enhance the caramelization. Set aside.

  • Make the garlic butter sauce: In another pan, heat the remaining olive oil and butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Crisp up the potatoes: Add the boiled potatoes to the pan with the garlic butter sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden crust.

  • Combine & serve: Mix the caramelized onions into the potatoes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Potato choice: Yukon Golds provide a creamy texture, while Russets get extra crispy.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan for the best texture.
  • Vegan option: Swap butter for additional olive oil or plant-based butter.
  • Additions: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, add smoked paprika for a smoky twist, or squeeze fresh lemon juice for brightness.
