Brit's Cheesy Onion Home Fries

This twist on a breakfast favorite comes from my daughter brittany, who is a cheese and onion lover. Great for lunch and as a dinner side also!!

Microwave potatoes as you would for a baked potato , but cook untilslightly underdone- 4 take 12-14 minutes on my microwave.

When cool enough to handle , quarter potatoes and then cut into about 1 inch pieces.

Heat 2 tbl of butter or oil in a large non-stick skillet.

On medium heat , add onions and cook until 1 or 2 minutes before adding potatoes , salt and pepper , stirring to combine.

Let cook for a few minutes , flipping or stirring gently , until onions are tender and potatoes are to desired crispness.

If necessary , add additional butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Remove home fries from pan and transfer into microwavable casserole dish.

Sprinkle with one cup of cheese and fold in gently.

Sprinkle remaining cup of cheese on top and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is melted.

Sprinkle a bit of parsley on top , if desired.
