How to Make Quick Fried Breakfast Potatoes With Onions

  1. Wash 2 medium russet potatoes and prick all over with a fork.
  2. Microwave the potatoes for 8 minutes. (This step can be done the night before to save time.)
  3. While potatoes microwave, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Once the potatoes are slightly softened, slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  5. Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup of thinly sliced yellow onion.
  6. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally. You may need to adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on potato size.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
