- Cut 3 onions into thin slices for barista.
- Heat 2 cups of cooking oil in a broad pan and deep fry onions into light golden brown. Transfer to a kitchen towel.
- Clean and prick the potatoes and boil them in water. I microwaved them for 8 minutes.
- Peel and cut each potato into 4 halves.
- Fry them in the same oil where onions are fried to light golden brown.
