Fried Potatoes and Onions: Making Steps
- Peel and slice the potatoes: Take your 4 pieces large potatoes and peel off the skin. Then cut them into thin, flat pieces — not too thick and not too thin. Try to make them about as thick as two pennies stacked together.
- Heat the oil: Pour 3 tablespoons cooking oil into a frying pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Wait until the oil gets nice and hot. Then slowly and carefully put your potato slices into the pan. Leave the pan open — no lid needed!
- Fry the potatoes: Let the potatoes cook until they turn golden and crispy on the outside. This takes about 20 to 22m 30s

. Don’t stir them too fast! Gently flip them over so they don’t break apart. - Add the onions: When the potatoes start to look crispy, toss in your sliced 1 pieces onion, cut into thin slices. Let everything cook together for about 5 more minutes until the onions get soft and a little golden.
- Add seasoning: Sprinkle 0.5 teaspoons salt and 0.3 teaspoons black pepper over the top. Mix gently so the potatoes stay in good shape — try not to smash them!
- Serve and enjoy!: Put chopped 2 pieces green onions for topping on top to make it look pretty. Serve hot with some ketchup on the side. Dig in and enjoy every crispy bite!
Notes
💡 Tips: Use a non-stick pan so the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom. Keep the heat at medium — too high and they burn, too low and they go soggy. Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work really well for this recipe! food magic!
