Ditalini’s Fried Potatoes & Onions

These are the thinly-sliced potatoes and onions Ditalini serves with paprika schnitzel.  Naturally, they will go well with almost anything.

Ingredients

• 2 potatoes
• 1/2 onion
• salt & pepper
• butter & olive oil

Directions

Peel the potatoes, then slice potatoes and onion thinly.  Ditalini uses a mandoline hand slicer, as shown.

Heat a small amount of butter and olive oil in a pan (enough to coat the bottom of the pan).  Layer the onions and potatoes.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Flip with a spatula halfway through cooking.  Be careful not to get the oil too hot or to overcook the onions.
