Fried Potato With Onion

Here’s a simple and tasty way to make fried potatoes with onions:

Ingredients

• 3–4 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced or cubed)
• 1 large onion (thinly sliced)
• 3–4 tbsp oil (vegetable or olive oil)
• 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp red chili flakes (optional)
• ½ tsp turmeric (optional, for color)
• Fresh coriander (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes
   Slice or cube the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate. Rinse and pat them dry.
2. Heat the oil
   In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the potatoes first
   Add potatoes and fry for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start turning golden.
4. Add onions
   Toss in the sliced onions and mix well.
5. Season
   Add salt, pepper, chili flakes, and turmeric if using.
6. Cook until done
   Keep frying on medium to low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crispy outside and soft inside, and onions are caramelized (about 10–15 more minutes).
7. Garnish & serve
   Sprinkle fresh coriander on top and serve hot.

Tips

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—this helps crispiness.
• Cover the pan for a few minutes if you want softer potatoes, then uncover to crisp them up.
