### Recipe for Crispy Fried Potatoes with Onions
#### Ingredients
– **4 medium potatoes**
– **1 large onion** (sliced)
– **3 tablespoons vegetable oil** (or your choice of cooking oil)
– **2 cloves garlic** (minced)
– **Salt** (to taste)
– **Pepper** (to taste)
– **Fresh chives or parsley** (for garnish)
#### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Potatoes:**
– Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or wedges. Soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. **Heat the Oil:**
– In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. **Fry the Potatoes:**
– Add the potatoes to the hot oil in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Fry them for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. **Cook the Onions:**
– In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
5. **Combine:**
– Return the fried potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine.
6. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Transfer the potato and onion mixture to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it as a snack.
