Rosemary potatoes

2 lbs. yellow or red potatoes

1 large or 2 medium onions

1 head garlic

6-8 sprigs fresh rosemary

Olive oil

1 tbsp. kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Wash the potatoes and remove any bad spots but leave as much skin as possible on. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

Peel the onion and chop into large chunks.

Peel the garlic cloves.

Pull rosemary leaves off the sticks, discard sticks, and chop coarsely.

Place potatoes, onions, garlic, and rosemary in a 9 in. × 13 in. glass baking dish. Sprinkle with the salt. Add olive oil and stir until all exposed potato surfaces are shiny.

Bake for 20 minutes, stir, then bake for 20 more minutes.

Leftovers can be heated in a frying pan and served as breakfast potatoes.
