Fried Potatoes with Onions

Honestly, I prefer Mashed Potatoes, but sometimes you just gotta have some fried taters.  My mom always made the very best fried potatoes and I never could quite match it....but these are pretty close.

Fried Potatoes with Onions

3 - 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
3 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 small white onion, sliced in thin strips
2 Tbsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. real butter

In skillet over medium/low heat, place olive oil.  Once it is hot (30 seconds or so), add the potatoes, spreading them evenly over the pan.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cover with a lid and let the potatoes cook for about 6 to 8 minutes on the first side.  Flip potatoes and recover with lid.  Cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes on the second side.  Check to see if they are most of the way done.  If so, remove the lid, add the onions and the butter.  Flip one more time and when you see the onions start to caramelize, remove and serve.

Yum!  Enjoy!
