In the same pan or a new one, melt a tablespoon of butter.
Step 4: Cook the Liver
- Remove the liver from the milk and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a bit more butter or oil in the pan over medium-high heat.
- Season the liver with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Fry the liver slices for about 2–3 minutes per side — just until browned outside but still slightly pink inside (don’t overcook or it gets tough!).
- Return the onions to the pan and toss gently with the liver for a warm-up.
🍽️ Serve & Enjoy!
Plate the crispy potatoes alongside a generous portion of liver and onions. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and serve with a wedge of lemon or a side of greens for balance.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Don’t overcook the liver – it should be tender, not rubbery.
- Try chicken liver if you’re new to the flavor — it’s milder.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce to the onions for extra depth.
- For extra crunch, you can parboil the potatoes first, then fry them.
