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.

- Cook shallot in 1 tablespoon butter with remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Add wine mixture in cup, along with remaining wine in bottle, and boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes.
- Add broth and continue to boil over high heat until mixture is reduced to 1 1/2 cups. Strain mixture through a sieve into another saucepan and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter (cut into pieces) until incorporated. Season sauce with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Coat the pork with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the parsley and sage leaves along the top of the roast.

ROAST COD WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, AND OLIVES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large skillet cook the onions and the garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is pale golden. While the onion mixture is cooking, in another large skillet heat the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in batches, turning them, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are pale golden, transferring them as they are cooked to a bowl. Add the onion mixture to the potatoes with the olives, the rosemary, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.
- Put the cod in the center of a large shallow baking dish, season it with salt and pepper, and arrange the potato mixture around it. Roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish just flakes. Flake 2 cups of the cod and reserve it, covered and chilled, for making the cod cannelloni.
Tips for Perfect Roast Potatoes:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for firm, waxy varieties like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes, which hold their shape well during roasting.
- Cut Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. Smaller pieces will crisp up, while larger ones will have a fluffy interior.
- Soak and Dry: Soaking potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier exteriors. Pat dry thoroughly before roasting to prevent soggy potatoes.
- Season Well: Generously coat potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can also add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
- Roast at High Heat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or higher for crispy potatoes. Avoid overcrowding the pan to allow for even cooking and browning.
- Roast Until Golden Brown: Roast potatoes for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside.
- Rest Before Serving: Let roasted potatoes rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps them firm up and retain their crispy texture.
Conclusion:
With the right techniques and attention to detail, you can achieve perfectly roasted potatoes that are crispy, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. Experiment with different potato varieties, seasonings, and roasting times to find your ideal combination. Whether you prefer classic roasted potatoes, herbed potatoes, or potatoes with a spicy kick, the key is to choose high-quality ingredients and follow the tips outlined above. So next time you're looking for a delicious and versatile side dish, give roast potatoes a try - you won't be disappointed!
