Ingredients
6largepotatoes
1/4cupolive oil
2tbspbutter
1 tspsea salt
1mediumred onion
1/4tspblack pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Start by peeling the potatoes. Then cut them in bite-size cubes and wash thoroughly.
Boil two liters of water on high heat.
Add the potatoes in the pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for about 3 minutes. In this case, you want the potatoes 1/2 way done.
Drain the potatoes completely.
After that, heat olive oil in a frying pan. Once that heats up, add butter and allow that to warm up too.
Add the parboiled potatoes and the salt to taste. Fry for a total of 10 minutes on medium heat for the perfect crispy crust. Toss them regularly for even browning.
Finally, add the chopped onion and fry for another 5 minutes continually tossing.
Season with black pepper, toss and serve.
Notes
This recipe also works well with leftover boiled potatoes.
Keep in mind that these potatoes lose a great deal of volume as they fry. So, adjust portion accordingly.
Substitute fresh garlic and onion with garlic powder and onion powder.
Keep the heat on medium-low for the crispiest and softest skillet fried potatoes.
