Fried potatoes with onions in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potatoes and onions in a frying pan? For frying, use medium-sized tubers. Under no circumstances take those that have turned green or frostbitten. Good potatoes should be smooth, uniform in color and without damage. Rinse the selected potatoes from the soil and peel using a vegetable peeler.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the peeled potatoes in cold water. This will wash away excess starch, so the potatoes will not fall apart when frying.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then drain the water and dry the potatoes a little.

4. STEP 4

   

   For frying, take regular onions. Peel it, rinse it and cut it into pieces.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour a little vegetable oil into a hot frying pan with high sides and add chopped onions. Fry the onion until slightly golden. Make sure it doesn't burn. Use a wide frying pan so that the potato layer on it is as thin as possible. This way it will cook more evenly and will be fried rather than stewed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then add the chopped potatoes to the pan with the onions. Mix everything well and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Cooking times are approximate and will depend on the type of potato, size of the pan, etc.

7. STEP 7

   

   Don’t forget to stir the potatoes periodically while frying. It is very convenient to do this with a wooden spatula. At the end of cooking, salt the potatoes and add some dry spices. Stir gently and remove from heat. Serve hot. Bon appetit!

We are “potato” souls, we adore potatoes in all their forms. Well, fried with onions is definitely a favorite. In our family, I’m the only one who cuts into strips, and since I was busy, my husband cut into half rings. The rest is according to the recipe. For spices today we had dry rosemary. We fried it in vegetable oil, but I agree with the author, it turns out so delicious with lard. Another good thing about this dish is that the stunning, alluring aroma of the desired fried potatoes cannot be confused with anything. Enjoy cooking your favorite potatoes using this simple and understandable recipe.

I really wanted fried potatoes and I immediately found a recipe) I also cut the potatoes into thin strips, so they cook faster and more evenly. I have purple onions, although I don’t like to heat-treat them, but I didn’t have the usual ones on hand. I liked the idea of ​​rinsing the chopped potatoes in a sieve; the slices don’t float away) Then I dried them on a waffle towel. Potatoes fry quickly, especially since the quantity is small. It turned out very appetizing, the crust was well browned. So delicious, I just can’t put it into words! At the end of frying, I added black pepper and paprika, thanks to which the potatoes acquired an additional reddish color. Potatoes and onions go well together. Thanks for the recipe!

Potatoes are the king of side dishes. Oh, how many delicious dishes can be prepared from it. I often cook fried potatoes with onions, as the author of the recipe described. If you want potatoes with a crust, then I recommend frying the potatoes first and only then adding the onions, otherwise the onions will burn too much. I fry them in a mixture of melted and refined butter, it turns out tastier. Well, the cooking time depends on the type of potato.
