Step 1: Open can and drain water.

Step 2: Dump potatoes out on a paper towel and blot excessive moisture off and slice in 1/4 slices, then blot excessive moisture off of slices as well. (I use a screen lid to cut down on the spatter).

Step 3: Dice onion.

Step 4: Microwave onion on a paper plate for 2.5 minutes on high.

Step 5: Remove onion from microwave and set aside. (Beware as the onion liquid will be hot).

Step 6: Add tablespoon of margarine and melt it in skillet.

Step 7: Spread melted butter so it coats bottom of the skillet.

Step 8: Place potato slices on to the skillet so each piece is touching the surface.

Step 9: As potatoes brown (golden), turn them over.

Step 10: Add onions and sprinkle the potato onion mixture with garlic powder.

Step 11: (optional) add cayenne pepper.

Step 12: Cook everything for another 10 minutes.

Step 13: If you double the recipe, cook all of the potatoes first before adding the onions.

Step 14: Enjoy!
