Things You'll Need:
- Frying pan
- 2 brown baking potatoes (russet potatoes I believe)
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 spatchula
- 1 cup of canola oil
- salt
- pepper
- paper towels
- ketchup
-
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes. Get all the dirt off. You do not want to peel the skin off, so cleaning them is important.
-
Step 2
Dice both potatoes into small cubes (roughly cubic centimeters).
-
Step 3
Chop up 1/2 of a red onion.
-
Step 4
Heat up the frying pan and add 1 cup of canola oil. Place all of the potatoes in and cover the pan for two minutes. The steam allows the potatoes to cook faster at first.
-
Step 5
Remove the frying pan lid and stir the potatoes. After another minute, add the onions and continue stirring.
-
Step 6
Continue with this until the potatoes begin to get crispy. At this point, you'll want to start with your taste tests. I prefer mine crispy to slightly burnt.
-
Step 7
After the potatoes are done cooking, put them on a plate and absorb the excess canola oil with paper towels.
-
Step 8
Add salt and pepper and serve with ketchup. Then repeat the process. I know you'll want to!
