ROASTED NEW POTATOES AND ONIONS WITH BUTTER AND PARSLEY

SERVES 4

I love roasted potatoes any which way. This version is especially good for a special dinner, because it has so much flavor from both the butter and the onions, which caramelize during the roasting process. New potatoes are usually about one and one-half inches in diameter. If yours are larger, you might need to quarter them. If much smaller, just leave them whole. You could use white potatoes, but I prefer red for flavor and color.

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds new potatoes, red or white, scrubbed and halved

1 large sweet onion, peeled and very coarsely chopped

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large 4-sided baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Spray very lightly with cooking spray and wipe off excess with a paper towel. Place the potatoes and onions on the baking sheet. Drizzle with the butter and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, then spread into one layer. Roast until lightly browned and the potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes. Add the parsley and toss again. Roast an additional 5 minutes. Serve immediately, or remove from oven and cover lightly with foil to keep warm.
