Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet Potatoes Peeled and diced into 1" cubes
- 1 onion finely diced
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
Instructions
- Peel and dice potatoes into 1" cubes.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Using a 10-inch skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat oil over medium heat.
- Drop-in potatoes, drop-in onions—season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir. Cover and cook about 10 minutes without stirring.
- Uncover. Stir and flip potatoes. Continue to cook uncovered for about 10-15 more minutes or until you reach desired tenderness, and the potatoes are browned.
Notes
Tip** Do not over stir the potatoes. Stir potatoes and then leave alone for about 4-5 minutes. Stir again. This allows the potatoes time to fry and brown in the oil.
