fried potatoes

Not exactly healthy, but easy and filling. 

3 large potatoes or 4 small potatoes
garlic powder
black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
diced onion

peel potatoes (or you can leave the skin on if you want.  I do make them either way..just depends on how big of a hurry I am in). Slice potatoes thinly.  I use an antique mandoline slicer but this can be done with a knife as well.  Just takes longer.  Heat oil and butter in a frying pan.  Put potatoes and onion in the pan, sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper.  Stir them around often to prevent burning.  Flip after about 5 minutes.  Cook until potatoes are browned and soft.
