Prepare the Vegetables. Peal and wash the potatoes, cut in small ½ inch cubes. Next peel and thinly slice the onions.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and turn golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced potatoes and green chilies to the skillet. Stir to combine with the onions.
Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper over the potatoes and onions. Mix well to coat everything evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid. Cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy.
Once done, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
Notes
Patience is key to making perfect fried potatoes and onions in a skillet. Cook them on low heat, allowing them to become tender in their own moisture. Avoid adding water to speed up the process.
To ensure the potatoes cook evenly, try to cut them into similar-sized cubes. Smaller cubes will cook faster and give you that crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside texture.
This will prevent the potatoes from sticking and help them develop a nice golden crust without burning.
