Ingredients
- 1 medium onion sliced into rings
- 1 ½ lb yellow potatoes thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic; minced
- 2-3 tbsp canola or vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp cayenne optional
Instructions
- In a non-stick or cast iron pan heat the canola oil over medium-high heat and add the garlic and onions. Let cook until the onions become translucent. Do not let the garlic brown or it will come bitter.
- Add the potatoes, salt, pepper and spices. Mix well until combined.
- Continue to cook for about 10 minutes or until they are fork tender stirring only occasionally to allow the potatoes to brown and get crispy in places.
- Remove from heat and serve hot.
Notes
Storage and Reheating
Pan fried potatoes and onions can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can reheat this side in the pan or the microwave. Personally, I prefer reheating them in the pan as it brings back the crispy texture on some of the potatoes, while the microwave tends to soften them.
I do not recommend freezing this dish, as the potatoes will become soft and mushy.
