Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium potatoes cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 2 sliced onions
  • 2 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 25 g butter
  • seasoning to taste

Instructions
 

For the hob or stove top

  • Start by cutting 4 medium potatoes into a rough 1-2 cm cubes.
  • Put them in a microwave bowl and cover with boiling water. Cook on full power for 10 minutes then drain
  • Peel the onions, cut in half and slice.
  • Fry the onions over a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of the oil for a few minutes until golden. Then add the crushed garlic for a minute.
  • Transfer the onion onion mixture to a bowl and add the remaining oil and butter to the frying pan.
  • Add the cubed potatoes and fry over a medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until nicely coloured. Then add the onion to the potatoes to warm through.

For the oven

  • Put the vegetable oil into a roasting pan and heat the oven to 180C/350F. By the time the potatoes are prepared the oil will be hot enough for roasting.
  • Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-2 cm chunks.
  • Put the diced potatoes in a saucepan and pour over boiled water to cover. Cook the potatoes on the hob or in the microwave for 5 minutes then drain.
  • Add the potatoes to the oven dish and turn to coat in the oil. Roast for 20 minutes.
  • Turn the potatoes and add 2 sliced onions, 2 cloves of sliced garlic and the chopped rosemary.
  • Roast for another 20 minutes then season and serve.

Notes

Tips
  • try not to break the potatoes edges up when draining or they will lose their cubed shape
  • time the potato cooking time from turning on the hob or microwave
  • when cooking in the oven or hob make sure that the potatoes are not crowding each other using a big enough pan or they won't get crisp
  • if you want to use dried herbs instead use 1 teaspoon rather than a tablespoon or you will over power the dish!
