Equipment
- Oven Preheat to 400°F (200°C)
- Baking sheet Used for roasting potatoes and onions.
- Pot For boiling potatoes.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs red potatoes
- 1.5 tsp kosher fine salt
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Vegetable or canola oil works too
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp chopped chives
- 1 tsp flaky salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
- Cut the red potatoes into quarters. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add kosher salt. Bring to a boil. Tip: Make sure the potatoes are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
- Once boiling, remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- While the potatoes are cooking, add olive oil and minced garlic to a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Place in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Tip: This step infuses the oil with garlic flavor, enhancing the overall taste.
- Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer, cut side down, without overlapping.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Then, flip the potatoes so the other cut side is down and sprinkle sliced onions on top.
- Roast for an additional 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are crispy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning the onions. Tip: Keep an eye on the onions; you want them caramelized but not burnt.
- Once done, top with flaky sea salt, black pepper, and chopped chives. Tip: For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before roasting.
