Roasted Rosemary Potatoes

roasted fingerling potatoes with rosemary and caramelized onions

I recently made these roasted rosemary potatoes for brunch guests. It was a hit! The coffee was free flowing, of course, and the brunch was simple and delicious. You may have seen a sneak peek on Instagram. Are you following along? Hope so!

Potatoes are a wildly universal starch. Good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, as a main or a side, they are just as delicious as they are easy to prepare. I especially love serving fingerling potatoes, mostly because of their buttery texture and fun shape. They are also excellent when roasted, which is a hassle-free cooking method for busy gals (and guys!).

Ingredients:
1 pound fingerling potatoes, rinsed, dried and halved
2 tbsp olive oil, divided into 2 1-tbsp portions
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped, stems discarded
1 white onion, thinly sliced
1⁄2 tsp sugar
1 tsp butter
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Toss potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper, place on baking sheet and bake at least 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and golden brown
  3. While the potatoes roast, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy bottomed or nonstick skillet over low heat, place onions and sugar in skillet and toss to combine
  4. Stir onions continuously until they turn a deep golden brown color, but remain soft
  5. When potatoes are cooked, toss with butter and caramelized onions, season to taste
