Dad's Skillet Potatoes

Ingredients:

A few potatoes
1 Onion
Some garlic
Salt - Kosher of course
Pepper
Chives
Secret Ingredient

Dice onion and mince garlic then add to hot frying pan with olive oil - cook until translucent.
Cut potatoes into quarters lengthwise then slice to bite size then add to frying pan.
Season with salt, pepper and add chives.
Cook until potatoes are almost cooked through.
Next, and don't tell anyone...pour in some maple syrup, pure is best but expensive so regular will do. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy - tell everyone that the sweetness must come from the onion.
