- 5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion (very thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 3-4 cloves)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon Creole Seasoning (like Tony Chacheres, optional, or to taste)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
Peel and slice potatoes into thin slices. Place sliced potatoes and onions in a bowl and toss with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and Creole seasoning (optional). In a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add potato/onion mixture and cook, gently flipping the potatoes every 2-3 minutes so the potatoes don't burn, for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are lightly browned.
Add chicken broth to potatoes and cover with a lid. Reduce heat and gently simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 8-10 more minutes (check often for doneness).
Remove lid from skillet and allow excess liquid to evaporate out, this should only take another minute or two. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
