Ingredients

  • 4 large russet potatoes, sliced thin
  • 1/2 cup onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or bacon grease
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add sliced potatoes in a single layer, cooking undisturbed for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced onions and seasonings.
  4. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

For extra flavor, use bacon grease instead of oil. Add bell peppers for color and sweetness.
