Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel potatoes and cut them into small wedges/fries, keeping them proportional for even cooking.
  2. Rinse peeled potatoes in water, then lay them out on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towel.
  3. Dice 1/2 of the onion. Melt 1 tbsp of butter in the frying pan and saute onion for around 3 min on medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Next, add potatoes and 2 tbsp of oil, mix everything together. Cover and cook on medium high for around 4-5 min covered until golden. Use a dome-shaped lid for best results.
  5. Reduce heat to medium and cook potatoes for approx. 15 min, stirring every 3-4 min.
  6. Towards the end of cooking, sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper.
  7. Check for doneness by breaking one of the bigger potato slices. It's done when the potato breaks easily.
