Roasted Red and White Potatoes

One kind of roasted potato is good, and two kinds are doubly delicious. This recipe is twice as good in another way, too: You get roasted potatoes for today and a start on German or Mexican Potato Salad (pages 80, 81) for later.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6, 1/2 cup per serving (plus 3 cups potatoes reserved)

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
2 1/2 pounds small potatoes, red and white
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 large onion (sweet preferred)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil spray.

    Step 2

    Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry. Put in a large bowl.

    Step 3

    Stir in the remaining ingredients except the onion. Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, cut the onion into 1-inch cubes.

    Step 6

    After the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, add the onion, stirring well. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork, stirring once halfway through. If the onion seems to be browning too quickly, stir more frequently. Refrigerate half the potatoes (3 cups) in an airtight container for use in German or Mexican Potato Salad. Serve the remaining potatoes.
