The flavor of these were good but they didn't look anything like that photos here. They weren't crispy on the outside at all, and I think it's because we didn't have a cast iron skillet; I just used a regular skillet that we had. So presentation was not so great, but it did taste good.

Mmm... love the flavor of these - we don't usually use pre-cooked potatoes when doing fried potatoes, and I liked the softness with the crust. I had to add a couple splashes of olive oil througout cooking so I would get a nice crust on them and not just darken/burn them but other than that I followed the recipe and enjoyed this delicious and quick potato side dish! Served with A.R.s Savory Crescent Chicken and a quick side salad for dinner.

I used raw potatoes and onion and cooked them together from the start. This took about 20 min to get done but next time I think I will used precooked potatoes to save time.

This is my favorite recipe for fried potatoes. I fell back to this recipe with nasty canned potatoes, but also started zapping fresh spuds in the microwave to cut down the frying time from an hour like my mom's recipe took. My family has always added the onions in the beginning, and yes they either get very caramelized or get a little burnt. I think it must be an acquired taste: ). I usually sprinkle them with garlic powder while I'm cooking them, and the kids eat them half potato/half ketchup.

I agree with Lorna. A cast iron skillet makes these taste better.

Surprisingly good for such a quick and easy recipe. As another review suggested, I added some paprika for a little more flavor and color. These potatoes were wonderful! I cooked them without the onion, only because I didn't have one on hand, and they were still great. No leftovers for these potatoes! Thanks for the recipe.

As suggested I used a cast iron skillet, added the onions once the potatoes started to brown then sprinkled with garlic salt to taste. For our taste the garlic addition really makes this side dish.

I gave it 4 stars because the one thing that would have made them better is frying them in a "cast-iron" frying pan. Somehow, the flavor is 10 times better when fried in a cast-iron pan.

I just made these as part of "breakfast for dinner" and it was so easy but so good. I baked three large potatoes in the microwave earlier in the day so they would be cool and ready to work with at dinner time. Also, in addition to salt and pepper, I added a bit of my favorite seasoning mix. I will do this again.

Made these for sausage and pepper subs tonight. I agree with Allison H. in that the potatoes should brown a bit before adding in the onion. A little mix of Italian seasoning gave the dish a nice flavor. Enjoyed by all.

In my opinion, the onion should be added in about halfway through the frying time. Otherwise, the onion is backened by the time the potatoes have browned.

We loved these, I sub green onion and instead of butter use butter grapeseed oil by Wildtree, though I have to buy it from there website and it is a little more expensive, it is so light that it's even good with using a little and dipping a nice chunk of crusty bread in.
