Ellie's Breakfast Home Fries

Created by Ellie Weightman

4 red potatoes, peeled and sliced (found that the red ones worked best)
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 tsp Kosher salt
Pepper
Table salt
1/4 - 1/2 stick butter or margarine

Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and fill bowl with water covering potatoes.  Add the kosher salt.  Microwave on high for 10 minutes (adjust to number of potatoes you are making).  When complete, drain and rinse the potatoes.

Preheat a skillet (cast iron best) and melt butter.  Add rinsed and drained potatoes and the onions.  Salt (table) and pepper to your preference.

Cover skillet and cook potatoes on medium heat until they feel softer to touch.  Once they are softer, remove lid and increase heat to med-high and turn potatoes every few minutes so they brown evenly.
