Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 1/2 sticks of butter (or more!)
  • 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, cover the potato cubes with salted water and boil until they’re just tender but still hold together.
  • Drain, put the potatoes back into the pot and set aside.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a frying pan.
  • Fry the onions in the butter until golden.
  • Pour the butter and onions over the potatoes and mix well (you’re not making mashed potatoes, though, so the mixture should be a combination of chunks and mashed bits all mixed up together).
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
