Instructions
- 1
Start the onion gravy: melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar, season with a pinch of salt, and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onions are deeply golden and very soft, about 30ā35 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so they caramelize without scorching.

While the onions cook, place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold salted water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 18ā20 minutes.
