- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:

- Pan Fry the Potatoes and Onions:
- Heat the vegetable oil or bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown and crisp up.
- Add the Onions:
- Once the potatoes are partially cooked and starting to brown, add the sliced onions to the skillet.
- Season the potatoes and onions with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Continue Cooking:
- Cook the potatoes and onions together for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the onions are soft and caramelized.
- Serve Warm:
- Once the potatoes and onions are cooked to perfection, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer the pan-fried potatoes and onions to a serving dish, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite main course.
