This is a great side to almost any meat dish. I’ve been making variations of this dish for about a decade now and they are all pretty good. If you don’t want to bake them you can slow roast in the pan, but to me it just takes a lot more work.
Variations to this recipe: different fresh herbs, add shallots instead of garlic or butter in the place of the olive oil. For more spice, add some chili powder, red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
Roasted Red Potato & Onion Dish
10-12 Baby Red Potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
1 onion, sliced
4 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
Onion powder
Salt & Fresh Cracked Pepper
Heat oven to 425
Get an ovenproof baking dish out- 9X13 works. You will be putting the potato onion mixture into this.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add oil.
Add potato and pan roast for about 5 minutes.
Add sliced onion and saute for another 5 minutes.
Liberally sprinkle onion powder over potato and onions.
Add a pinch of salt.
Lower heat to Medium Low
Add garlic, stirring frequently so the garlic doesn’t burn- about 2 minutes.
Using a spatula, pour mixture into the ovenproof dish and toss in the middle rack. Bake for about 25 min, stirring about half way through. If you want the dish more browned, heat the broiler for a few minutes.
Crack pepper over the top and serve. For a nice mix, put a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives over each serving.
Meat Paring: Beef, Veal, Pork. Any grilled meat tastes great with this dish. If you have a grill basket, you can toss everything in that after you cook in the skillet.
It’s sooo good.
