Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, these pan-fried potatoes are a classic comfort food. Sautéed with sweet onions and simple seasonings, they make the perfect side for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Prep the Potatoes: Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. For maximum crispiness, place the diced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 15 minutes to release excess starch. Drain thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
First Fry for Potatoes: Heat the vegetable oil in a large 12-inch cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the dried potato cubes in a single, even layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until a golden-brown crust begins to form on all sides.
Add Onions and Butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced onion and the tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir to combine with the potatoes. Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, translucent, and slightly caramelized, and the potatoes are tender all the way through.
Season and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, which provide a steady and sustained release of energy to fuel your body and daily activities.
Potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, an essential electrolyte that helps regulate blood pressure, support nerve function, and maintain proper fluid balance.
Onions are a source of quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that helps combat inflammation and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
