Ingredients:

5 tbsps

Unsalted Butter

1

Salt

Directions:

1

Parboil the potatoes approximately 5 to 6 minutes in salted water

2

Drain and cool to room temperature

3

Meanwhile, saute the diced onions in the oil plus 1 tablespoon of the butter until richly browned and caramel colored

4

This step ensures that all of the onion's sweetness is developed

5

Cool the onions, then mix with the potatoes

6

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

7

Melt half the remaining butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over medium heat, and add half the diced potato/onion mixture

8

Take care to pack the mixture tightly in one neat layer to saute and brown

9

Using the back of a spoon, form the potato and onion mixture into a rounded cake

10

When the potatoes and onions begin to adhere and brown, flip them over using a large spatula or the back of a plate

11

Brown the second side, then transfer the hash-browned potatoes to a cookie sheet and reserve while you cook the second half of the potato/onion mixture

12

Add the second batch to the cookie sheet and bake 10 minutes

13

Remove from the oven, season with the salt and pepper, and serve
