Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • large bowl
  • Cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • ½ medium onion
  • 2 Tablespoon sunflower seed oil
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • ¼ teaspoon salt adjust by taste
  • teaspoon black pepper adjust by taste

Instructions
 

  • Wash and peel potatoes. Cut each potato in 4 parts lengthwise and slice each quarter into thin pieces. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Place sliced potatoes in a bowl with cold water and let them sit there for at least 10 minutes.
  • Slice the onion into half or quarter rings, as thin as you did the potatoes.
  • Drain potatoes and place them on paper towel to dry. Use another towel to pat dry on top.
  • In a large cast iron skillet, heat sunflower oil over medium heat. Carefully add the potatoes in a single layer. Fry them for about 3 minutes on one side. Flip and add onions. Let them cook for another 3 minutes. Now stir the onions and potatoes carefully. Cover the pan with the lid and cook on lower heat for about 5-7 minutes or until potatoes are soft inside.
  • Uncover, turn the heat on medium-high and cook for another 3 minutes flipping potatoes a few times until they get golden-brown and crispy. Turn off the heat, add salt, pepper and chopped dill on top. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

*if you like, do not peel the potatoes
*add more salt by taste
*for crispier potatoes - soak sliced potatoes in cold water first and then, pat dry using paper towels.
