Open in Pepper →Potatoes And Onions In One Skillet
Potatoes and onions are the cheapest good supper there is. You slice, you fry, and you end up with crisp brown edges and soft sweet onion, and nobody at the table complains.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on nights when the fridge is thin and dinner still has to happen, or when they need a side that goes with anything from eggs to pork chops.
Every recipe here keeps it simple: Skillet Potatoes with just potatoes, onion and oil, Kielbasa Potatoes and Onions when you want it to be the whole meal, Crispy Fried Potatoes and Onions with half-inch cubes, and Potatoes and onions made with butter and sweet onion.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cut potatoes evenly
Half-inch cubes or quarter-inch slices cook through in about the same time. Uneven pieces mean some burn while others stay raw.
- 2
Get the oil hot first
Heat 2 to 3 tablespoons of a high smoke point oil until it shimmers before the potatoes go in, or they soak it up and turn greasy.
- 3
Add onions later
Give the potatoes a 10 minute head start, then stir in the sliced onion so it softens and browns instead of burning.
- 4
Leave them alone
Let the potatoes sit undisturbed 4 to 5 minutes per side. Constant stirring breaks them up and keeps a crust from forming.
