- Preheat the Skillet:
- Heat the vegetable oil or bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure the skillet is large enough to accommodate the potatoes in a single layer.
- Cook the Onions:
- Add the sliced onions to the hot skillet. Cook and stir occasionally until the onions become translucent and start to caramelize. This process usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Potatoes:
- Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Seasoning:
- Season the potatoes and onions with salt, pepper, and paprika if you’re using it. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Cook Until Golden Brown:
- Allow the potatoes to cook without stirring for a few minutes until the bottom layer turns golden brown. Then, flip the potatoes to brown the other side. Repeat this process until all the potatoes are crispy and golden.
- Check for Doneness:
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork to check for doneness. They should be tender on the inside while maintaining a crisp outer layer.
