Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the potatoes plenty of room to spread out and crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the potatoes will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Stir the potatoes frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the onions towards the end of cooking: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Season the potatoes and onions to taste: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good options.
  • Serve the potatoes and onions immediately: They are best when hot and crispy.
