Instructions
1
Start by peeling and washing the potatoes. Cut them into very thin slices, about 1-2 mm thick, and set aside.
2
Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic cloves.
3
In a heavy iron casserole or skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Layer half of the potato slices in the hot oil, followed by half of the chopped onions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and garlic, seasoning between layers.
5
Cover the pan and cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring gently at the first sign of steam. Use a large flat spoon or spatula to turn the potatoes over in sections, cooking on the other side.

Repeat the turning process only twice more to avoid breaking the potato slices. The goal is to achieve a crispy texture on both sides.
7
Once browned and crispy, remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
