BALSAMIC-BAKED ONIONS AND POTATOES WITH ROAST PORK
This dish has attitude - it uses a lot of balsamic vinegar but, trust me, it works really well! The onions and potatoes are baked in the vinegar, making them crispy, dark, sticky and sweet. I've chosen to serve them with roasted pork, but beef or lamb works just as well. I prefer red onions for their color and sweetness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put the potatoes into a pan of boiling, salted water and cook for around 8 minutes, then drain and return to the pan. Chuff them up a bit by shaking the pan.
- To prepare the meat, scatter a handful of finely chopped rosemary leaves over a large chopping board. Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and the ground fennel seeds. Roll the pork across the board, pressing down hard so all the flavorings stick to it.
- Get a large roasting pan that your pork will fit snugly into, and place it on a burner over a medium-high heat. Pour in a little olive oil and place the pork in, fat side down, sprinkled with any flavorings remaining on the board. After a few minutes, when the pork fat is lightly golden, turn it over and add the garlic cloves, onion, celery and bay leaves to the pan. Place on the bottom shelf of your preheated oven for 1 hour, basting it halfway through. (For the last 20 minutes of cooking, you may need to cover the pork with a bit of damp waxed paper to stop it coloring too much.)
- Get another roasting pan, into which you can fit the potatoes in 1 layer, and heat it on the stove. When hot, pour a glug of olive oil into it and add the butter, rosemary and garlic. Add the potatoes and toss them in all the flavors. Add the onions and all the balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes on the burner to reduce the balsamic vinegar a little. Place the pan on the top shelf and cook for around 50 minutes, until the potatoes and onions are dark, sticky and crispy - removing the pan to toss the onions and potatoes halfway through.
- After 1 hour, the meat should be cooked. Prick it with a sharp knife - if the juices run clear, it's done; if not, pop it back in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, keeping the potatoes warm. Remove it from the oven and let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Pour away most of the fat from the pan and mash up the garlic and onion. Place the pan over the burner and add the white wine. Simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, scraping all the meaty, marmitey goodness off the bottom to make a tasty little sauce, and season if necessary. Pass through a sieve into a serving pitcher. Then slice the pork and serve it with your incredible baked onions and potatoes, drizzled with the pan juices. This meal goes great with some nice greens or an arugula salad.

GRILLED ONIONS AND POTATOES
My family loves these tasty potatoes. There are never leftovers. Once the potatoes are all tucked in their foil packets, they can wait overnight to be grilled the next day. Great for camping. Check foil packets at 15 and 30 minutes to ensure they are not burning. May require a few more minutes to ensure all is cooked through.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left whole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.
- Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
- While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
- While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
- Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions.

BRILLIANT POTATOES WITH PAPRIKA AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS
I love potatoes in all forms, but this is my all time favorite. I have been making it since I was a teenager, and everyone in the family always requests it when I make dinner. I have shortened the prep time using canned, whole, white potatoes, instead of boiling my own. The results are just as delicious. If you are opposed to canned potatoes, use fresh, boiled potatoes. These potatoes make fantastic leftovers too! This is the first time I have ever given out the recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!

Steps:
- Do not cut the small potatoes, leave whole and place then in a pot of boiling salted water; boil for about 20 minutes or until just fork-tender, drain and cool, then cut in half (this can be done well in advance).
- Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat.
- Add in the chopped garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
- Add in flour and whisk for 2 minutes (do not brown the flour).
- Gradually add in the full-fat milk (or half and half if using) bring to a simmer whisking continously for 1 minute.
- Add in the whipping cream; mix to combine, then add in the Parmesan cheese (sauce will be thick but will thin out slighty when you add in the peas and onions).
- Season with salt and lots of pepper or cayenne pepper; simmer over low heat for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
- Add in cooked potatoes, peas and onions; bring to a simmer and cook over low heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon until the onions are tender (about 5-6 minutes).
- Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For roasting, use firm potatoes like russet or Yukon Gold. For boiling or mashing, waxy potatoes like red or fingerling potatoes are best.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. For roasting, cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes or wedges. For boiling or mashing, cut them into smaller pieces.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. For roasting, toss the potatoes with olive oil or melted butter before seasoning. For boiling or mashing, add salt to the water.
- Cook the potatoes until tender: For roasting, cook the potatoes at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. For boiling, cook the potatoes in boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until they are tender. For mashing, cook the potatoes in boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until they are very tender.
- Serve the potatoes hot: Roasted potatoes can be served immediately. Boiled or mashed potatoes can be served immediately or reheated.
Conclusion:
Potatoes and onions are a versatile and delicious combination that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are roasting, boiling, or mashing them, following these tips will help you create perfect potatoes every time. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying side dish, reach for some potatoes and onions. You won't be disappointed!
