"A delicious side dish from "Mediterranean Cooking"."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs potatoes, small and firm
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 red onions, cut into chunks
• 8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F Peel the potatoes, cut into quarters, and rinse with water.
2. To ensure that the potatoes remain crisp, they should be completely dry before cooking.
3. Place the butter and oil in a roasting pan and place in the oven to heat.
4. When the butter has melted and is foaming, add the potatoes, red onions, garlic and rosemary.
5. Toss well and then spread out in a single layer.
6. Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes until the potatoes are golden and tender when tested with a fork.
7. Shake the pan from time to time to redistribute the potatoes.
8. When they are cooked through, season with salt and pepper.
9. Note: Salt the potatoes a few minutes before the end of cooking, as this will help them retain their shape.
10. Enjoy!

How can you go wrong with potatoes, onions and garlic. I did leave out the butter but doubled the garlic. Thanks for such a simple and delicious recipe. Made for Tag it Red, February 2009.

Great combination of flavors - I always love garlic with potatoes and with the added rosemary & onion it is even better. Very enjoyable recipe thanks Pianolady

So delicious and so simple, this has become a staple in my house. I now double the recipe and use the leftovers for saturday breakfast adding sauteed red and green bell pepper. I have also just used olive oil without the butter, but the potatoes dont seem to get as golden... Thanks for this easy !fast! recipe, pianolady.

The potatoes came out awesome!! I made the recipe smaller for the two of us ,so I used 6 potatoes instead (plenty of leftovers), same amounts of butter and olive oil, no red onions, and I used garlic powder instead of the fresh garlic it called for (didn't have any on hand). I also sprinkled mine with some parsley. I ended up cooking mine for 25 minutes, because they still seemd a little firm at the 20 minute mark. Thanks for posting a good recipe!
