Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes for even cooking.
  2. Heat oil in a skillet using a non-stick or cast-iron pan for best results.
  3. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and caramelized.
  4. Add potatoes and seasonings, and stir well to coat them with the spices.
  5. Pour in the broth, cover, and let the potatoes soften while stirring occasionally.
  6. Uncover and let the potatoes crisp up for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using sweet potatoes and reducing the amount of oil.
