Notes

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: For the best texture, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. They become creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  • Slice Evenly: Cut your potatoes into uniform slices. This helps them cook evenly, ensuring that every bite is just as delicious.
  • Cook Slowly: Take your time when cooking the potatoes and onions. Low heat allows the flavors to develop and prevents burning.
  • Add Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or thyme at the end for a burst of freshness.
  • Pair with Butter: Don’t shy away from butter! It adds richness and flavor to the dish. You can also use olive oil for a lighter option.
