Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced 
1 large onion, thinly sliced 
3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil 
2 tbsp unsalted butter 
1 tsp garlic powder 
½ tsp smoked paprika 
Salt and pepper, to taste 
Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish 
Instructions:
Prepare the Ingredients:Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onions. Use a mandoline for uniform slices, if available. Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
Heat the Oil:In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan. 
Add the Potatoes:Place the sliced potatoes in the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust on the bottom.
Add the Onions:Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Gently toss the potatoes and onions together to combine. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Cook Until Tender:Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the onions are caramelized.
Crisp Up (Optional):For extra crispy potatoes, turn the heat back to medium-high for the last 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Serve:Transfer the potatoes and onions to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own.
