Recipe Introduction

These potatoes are so good even Jeremy and Kevin liked them.

List of Ingredients

1 medium sweet onion
3 pounds of small red potatoes
1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup of olive oil
4 stems of fresh rosemary, each about 4 to 6 inches long
2 tablespoons of kosher salt (kosher salt will retain its crunchiness in the oven)
1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

1. Peel the onion, and chop into pieces roughly 1/2 inch square. Place the pieces into a large non-reactive bowl.

2. Wash the pototoes thoroughly, but do not peel. Cut them into quarters, each in a half-moon shape--the aim is to end up with uniform sized potato pieces that are one-half to no more than 3/4 of an inch on any side. Place the potato pieces into the bowl with the onions.

3. Pour the balsamic vinegar and the olive oil over the potatoes and onions. Stir to mix.

4. Remove the rosemary leaves from the stems. Add the leaves to the bowl with the previous ingredients.

5. Add the salt and the pepper to the bowl and stir again to mix.

6. Pour the contents of the bowl into a heavy 9 inch by 13 inch roasting pan (I like to line mine with aluminum foil), or into any baking dish that will allow the potatoes to be in a single layer.

7.Bake at 450 degrees F for 35 to 45 minutes. I like my potatoes pretty dark, so that the balsamic vinegar gets really crunchy on the outsides of the potatoes -if you don't want them quite so dark, either take them out earlier at the 30 minute mark, or set the oven to 375 degrees F and roast for the full time.

Serve hot or at room temperature. The potatoes can be reheated in the oven (400 degrees F for 10 minutes) or in a wrapping of heavy duty aluminum foil
