Simple Greek Home Fries In A Quickness - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes (I like red)
1 medium onion, chopped small
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove (diced)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon basil (I use fresh so chop into small pieces)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (I use more to taste as I love the freshness)
3 teaspoons butter or 3 teaspoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Wash and pierce potatoes and microwave 10 min (varies depending n power of microwave) until you can push a dent in to potatoes.
Let cool.
Slice in quarters then slice into 1/2 inch pieces.
In the meantime add oil, garlic, pepper, oregano and diced onions in a large fry pan (big enough to hold potatoes).
Saute until just cooked, when onions turn translucent (about 3 minutes).
Once potatoes are cut, add to fry pan, add butter and basil and cook over medium heat, stirring so potatoes can pick up all the juices and flavors.
Turn to low, cover and let cook for an additional 10 minutes (approx) until potatoes get the crispy brown edges. mmmmm.
Add lemon juice and mix.
Serve.
Note: times are approximately depending on microwave and stove type. I have propane so it cooks hot.
** Add in more or less spices to your liking. I need to adjust for students. With my family, I add in more garlic and lemon and no salt.
***Prep and cook times overlap- this is on the table at my home in less than 30 minutes start to finish.
