Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 lb baby potatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
To taste
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Optional garnish
  • fresh herbs for garnish

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and butter, cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Push the onions to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned potatoes cut side down. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy and tender. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven, toss with the caramelized onions, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Step 7: Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
