Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes, sliced thin
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced thin
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions 

  • In a large heavy bottomed skillet (like a cast iron skillet), add 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
  • Add the onion and sauté until the onion is caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Add a tablespoon of oil and the potatoes. Let the potatoes sit on the bottom of the skillet for about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, flip them often to help them brown evenly. Continue doing this until potatoes are cooked, about 20 minutes total. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, if needed.
  • When the potatoes are almost done season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Serve immediately
