Equipment
- Sharp knife and mandoline
- large heavy-based skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 medium red onions
- 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
- some pinch of salt
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- small fresh ginger root
- 1 fresh turmeric
- 1 kg/pound red-skinned potatoes
- 1 tablespoon oregano or dry herbs of choice
- dust of chili (optional)
- some thyme or fresh herbs of your choice
Instructions
- Clean and tap dry the potatoes (or clean them in advance) Slice them. Do not peel them.
- Peel and dice the red onions and place them in a heating skillet at high-medium heat
- Add oil to the onions, stir and cover to cook for about 3 minutes stirring often
- Meanwhile, using a vegetable grater, grate the garlic, turmeric, and ginger.
- Bring the sliced potatoes, spread them well, and sprinkle with salt. Add oregano, ginger, garlic, & turmeric. Cover to cook for about 5mins
- Using a large spatula gently flip the cooking potatoes to cook the other side. Cover to cook for about 3 minutes
- Check if the potatoes are cooked by tasting one.
- If you like spicy food, sprinkle with chili, I like using cayenne.
- When potatoes are cooked, cut off heat and add fresh herbs of your choice. In this recipe I used thyme. Cover to let the potatoes cool and to infuse the fragrance of the herbs.
- Serve. We love these pan-fried potatoes with some green salad.
Notes
- The duration of cooking largely depends on the size and the type of potatoes.
- Ideally, slice thin slices that will cook fast.
- Check on the heat, if it's too high, the potatoes will stick to the pan or even burn, if it's low, it will take a longer time to cook your potatoes.
- If you find that the potatoes aren't completely cooked and they're sticking to the pan, add a splash of water. Just a little!
- Preferably use a heavy-based skillet for they distribute the heat well.
