Steps:
- Slice the cold potatoes into thin 1/8" slices, then set aside. Add about 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large frying pan and heat gently. Fry the onions till soft then add the bacon pieces. Continue frying till the bacon and onions are lightly browned then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon. Set aside for now. Add the remaining oil and butter to the pan and fry the potato slices over a low/medium heat, turning them occasionally. Allow them to brown lightly on one side before turning, repeating the process till most of the potatoes are golden brown. Once the potatoes are almost done, return the onion and bacon mix to the pan, season with salt and plenty of black pepper, then continue frying over a medium heat till everything is nicely browned.
Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russets and are less likely to fall apart during frying.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Aim for slices that are about ¼-inch thick.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This helps to remove excess starch, which can make the potatoes gummy.
- Heat your pan over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy exterior on the potatoes.
- Do not overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
- Season the potatoes: with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices before frying.
- Flip the potatoes regularly: This will ensure that they cook evenly on all sides.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and tender: This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
