DAVID'S AWESOME POTATOES

Steps:

• I cut up my potatoes different ways just depends on how I feel. Normally I leave the skin on. I like both red potatoes and Klondike's. I'm liking the Klondike's more since they've got a much longer shelf life. So after washing the potatoes, either slice or cut up into 1" square or so pieces. Don't worry about cutting to uniform pieces, it's all good!
• In a large frying pan put 1-2 or so tablespoons of canola oil bring to a hot temperature (you will see dimples in the oil when it's hot enough) the put the potatoes in. You want to brown the potatoes and make them kind of crisp on the outsides, yet tender in the middle. Once the potatoes are somewhat browned on all sides add the sliced onions and cook until the onions are also browned or caramelized.
• Now sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Continue to cook for about 5 more minutes.
• DO NOT COOK THIS DISH COVERED!!!!!! IF you do cook this covered it will get soggy and not brown. The browning of the potatoes and the onions is what really makes this dish stand apart from other dishes that are similar.
