How to Make Animal Style Skillet Potatoes Sp5

  1. **Caramelize the Onions:** Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced. Cook undisturbed for 5-8 minutes, until the bottom is browned. Reduce heat to low, stir occasionally, and continue cooking until deeply caramelized (about 20 minutes).
  2. **Cook the Potatoes:** While the onions caramelize, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add 2 pounds of diced potatoes (about 4 medium russet potatoes).
  3. **Potatoes are Ready:** Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork, stirring occasionally.
  4. **Combine and Melt:** Stir in 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  5. **Cheese Please!:** Top with 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese).
  6. **Finish it Up:** Cover and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. **Serve it Up:** Top with the caramelized onions and serve immediately. Enjoy!
