Notes

Do you have to boil potatoes before frying them for this recipe?

No, you do not need to boil the potatoes before “frying” them. Since the potatoes are thinly sliced, they will cook and become tender pretty quickly. The thinner you slice the potatoes, the quicker they will cook and the crispier they will be.

What texture are fried potatoes and onions?

It’s important to note the fried potatoes and onions are not super crispy. The edges of the potatoes get crispy while the rest of the potato slices remain a bit soft. The longer you cook the potatoes, the crispier they will become. But, be careful that you don’t cook them too long or the onions will burn and taste bitter.
