Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes, scrubbed

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed

  • 2 teaspoons salted butter, or to taste

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Stab the potatoes with a fork and microwave until cooked, about 9 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Slice into wedges.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and butter in a small pan over medium-low heat. Saute onion and garlic with salt and pepper until tender and sweet, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. Heat enough remaining oil to coat the bottom of a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook potatoes in batches, making sure they aren't crowded in the pan. Turn carefully until golden and crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Keep the first batch in the preheated oven until the second batch is done.

  5. Add olives to the second batch and cook for 1 minute. Add potatoes from the oven and onion-garlic mixture. Toss in the pan until everything is heated. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with parsley, salt, and pepper.

Cook's Note:

The thinner you slice, the crispier the final product. Be careful though, they will fall apart if you slice them too thin.
