Ingredients
- 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion (very thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 3-4 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon creole seasoning (like Tony Chacheres, optional, or to taste)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Peel and slice potatoes into thin slices. Place sliced potatoes and onions in a bowl and toss with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and Creole seasoning (optional).
- In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add potato/onion mixture and cook, gently flipping the potatoes every 2-3 minutes so the potatoes don't burn, for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned.
- Add chicken broth to potatoes and cover with a lid. Reduce heat and gently simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8-10 more minutes (check often for doneness).
- Remove lid from skillet and allow excess liquid to evaporate out, this should only take another minute or two. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
