Potatoes

Onions

Method

Prepare the Potatoes

  1. 1

    Wash and Cut

    Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, combine the washed potatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Cook the Potatoes

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 4

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 5

    Roast

    Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Prepare the Pearl Onions

  1. 6

    Peel the Onions

    While the potatoes are roasting, peel the pearl onions and set them aside.

  2. 7

    Sauté

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the peeled pearl onions and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are lightly caramelized.

Combine and Serve

  1. 8

    Mix Together

    Once the potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the sautéed pearl onions. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the crispy potatoes and pearl onions to a serving dish and enjoy hot.
