Sauteed potatoes and onions

I've been making my version of sauteed potatoes and onions for more years than I care to remember. It's a tried and tested recipe that never fails to deliver. The potatoes are lightly browned and fork-tender, while the onions are soft and full of flavour. This dish is perfect for serving with your favourite roast or sausages, and you can even fry leftovers in the morning for instant breakfast hash-browns.

📝 Ingredients

• 3/4 pound / 350 grams potatoes (cubed approx 3/4 inch)
• 1/2 pound / 175 grams onions (cubed approx 1/2 inch)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
• 2 tablespoons water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat the oil in a saute pan or a frying pan until quite hot and then add the potatoes. The oil should sizzle gently when the potatoes are added.

4. 4Leave to cook on a medium heat, stirring 2 or 3 times for 5 minutes until the potatoes start to brown.
5. 5Turn down the heat to low and stir in the onions and 2 tablespoons of water and cover with the lid. Turn down the heat as low as possible.
