Put potato chunks, butter, and sliced onions

Buttered Potato & Onion Skillet

Ingredients

• 4–5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks (bite-sized)

• 2–3 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 large onion, sliced thin

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Optional: fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)

Instructions

1. Prep potatoes

   • Wash and cut potatoes into even chunks.

   • Optional: parboil 5–7 minutes until just tender; drains cooking time later.

2. Cook onions

   • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.

   • Add sliced onions and sauté until soft and golden, 5–7 minutes.

3. Add potatoes

   • Add potato chunks to the skillet.

   • Toss to coat in butter and onions.

   • Season with salt, pepper, and herbs if using.

4. Cook until golden

   • Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and lightly crisped, about 15–20 minutes.

   • If sticking, add a splash of water and cover to steam briefly.

5. Finish & serve

   • Taste and adjust seasoning.

   • Serve hot as a side to eggs, meat, or just as a cozy comfort dish.

Tips & Variations

• Crispier: Roast in oven at 400°F for 25–30 minutes instead of stovetop.

• Garlicky twist: Add minced garlic in the last 2 minutes of cooking.

• Cheesy version: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Parmesan on top before serving.

This is basically the ultimate simple comfort side—buttery, soft inside, slightly caramelized onions… perfection.

If you want, I can also give a casserole-style version where the potatoes and onions are baked in butter for extra richness.
