- 0:00Speaker 1: Baked potatoes and onions bring a golden color, a crispy texture,
- 0:04Speaker 1: and a soft center. They suit family dinners, holiday spreads,
- 0:08Speaker 1: and simple everyday meals. You enjoy the sweet flavor of
- 0:11Speaker 1: caramelized onions with savory potatoes, perfect with grilled meat, roast chicken,
- 0:16Speaker 1: or vegetarian main courses. For four servings, you need about
- 0:20Speaker 1: 10 minutes for preparation and about 40 minutes for cooking.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Ingredients for four people. Potatoes, 2.2 pounds, that is one kilogram.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Red onions, 0.9 pound, that is 400 grams. Extra virgin
- 0:35Speaker 1: olive oil, 5 1⁄2 tablespoons, that is 80 grams. Fine salt,
- 0:40Speaker 1: as needed. Rosemary, as needed. You start with the potatoes.
- 0:46Speaker 1: You peel the potatoes and cut them in half. You
- 0:49Speaker 1: then cut each half into wedges. You repeat this operation
- 0:53Speaker 1: for all the potatoes. You place all the wedges in
- 0:57Speaker 1: a large bowl. You now prepare the onions. You peel
- 1:01Speaker 1: the red onions. You slice them thinly. You add the
- 1:06Speaker 1: sliced onions to the bowl with the potatoes. You season
- 1:09Speaker 1: the mixture. You add three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You add chopped rosemary in the quantity you prefer. You
- 1:18Speaker 1: add fine salt as needed. You mix everything very well
- 1:23Speaker 1: so that potatoes and onions are evenly coated. You prepare
- 1:27Speaker 1: the baking sheet. You line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 1:32Speaker 1: You transfer the potatoes and onions onto the baking sheet.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You distribute them in an even layer without overlapping the
- 1:39Speaker 1: pieces so they roast evenly. You heat the oven. You
- 1:44Speaker 1: preheat a static oven to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. You place
- 1:49Speaker 1: the baking sheet in the hot oven. You bake for
- 1:52Speaker 1: about 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, you gently stir the
- 1:56Speaker 1: potatoes and onions. You continue baking until the potatoes are
- 2:00Speaker 1: golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. When
- 2:04Speaker 1: the potatoes and onions are ready, you remove the baking
- 2:07Speaker 1: sheet from the oven. You serve the baked potatoes and
- 2:10Speaker 1: onions hot. You drizzle the remaining three tablespoons of extra
- 2:15Speaker 1: virgin olive oil over them just before serving. For storage,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you place any leftover baked potatoes and onions in an
- 2:22Speaker 1: airtight container. You keep them in the refrigerator for a
- 2:26Speaker 1: maximum of one to two days. When you serve them again,
- 2:29Speaker 1: you reheat them in a static or convection oven at
- 2:32Speaker 1: a moderate temperature, so they regain their crispiness, avoiding the microwave,
- 2:36Speaker 1: which would make them soft. You now have a simple,
- 2:40Speaker 1: reliable side dish of baked potatoes and onions, with crispy edges,
- 2:43Speaker 1: tender centers, and the sweet, savory taste of onion and rosemary.
