Chad's Guest Recipe: Heart-Attack Potatoes

In our household, we split the cooking about 60/40, with me being the slightly higher number. We both have our standards, but I do tend to branch out more than Chad (this blog, of course, sort of forces that). This is Chad's latest creation. I can't remember which one of us named this recipe.

The following amounts were used for dinner tonight. Three potato-loving adults did not even come close to finishing this amount. (Chad bought 7 pounds of potatoes thinking that was what we would need!)

Heart-Attack Potatoes

4 pounds of potatoes; unpeeled, sliced into eighths and then sliced thin

1 sweet onion, diced

1 stick butter

salt and pepper

Melt the butter in a pan and then add the potatoes and onion. Cook over medium to medium-high heat until the potatoes and onions are thoroughly cooked. Then crank up the heat to high and crisp up the potatoes, flipping frequently so they don't burn.
