Ingredients
- 4 medium Yellow potatoes
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yellow potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, roughly 1/8-inch thick. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Peel the onions and cut them into thin slices, about the same thickness as the potatoes.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the garlic cloves (whole but slightly crushed) and the rosemary sprigs to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then remove the garlic and rosemary to prevent burning.
Step 5
Add the sliced onions to the pan. Cook them on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they turn soft and translucent, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 7
Layer the potatoes evenly over the softened onions in the skillet. Pour in the 1/4 cup of water and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the dish to cook over low heat for about 25-30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Once the potatoes are tender and slightly golden, remove the lid. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the dish to develop crispy, caramelized edges.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and let the dish cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with crusty bread.
