Potatoes and Onions

This recipe is ultra simple, but surprisingly yummy!  The onions give the potatoes a really great flavor.  I made it a few times as a last-minute side dish with dinner, but just recently discovered it also works great with our weekend brunch (kind of a hash browns substitute). 

INGREDIENTS

2 large russet potatoes, chopped [the perfect amount for 2 people - double the recipe if you need to feed more]

1 medium-sized onion, chopped

2 Tbs cooking oil

Salt, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning as desired

DIRECTIONS

1.  Heat oil in a large skillet.  Add potatoes and onions and cook over medium heat, covered, for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. 

2.  Add seasonings (I go pretty light on the salt - you can always add more at the table if necessary).  Cook for another 10 minutes or so, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and browned.
