How to Make Brit's Cheesy Onion Home Fries
- Microwave 2 pounds of potatoes (about 4 medium) until almost tender, but slightly undercooked – approximately 12-14 minutes in most microwaves. Let cool completely.
- Once cool, quarter the potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring gently every few minutes, until onions are tender and potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Add more butter or oil if needed to prevent sticking.
- Transfer the home fries to a microwave-safe casserole dish.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the potatoes and gently fold in.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
