Ingredients for Balsamic Baked Onions And Potatoes Jamie Oliver

  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Bulb Of Garlic
  • Red Onions
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper

How to Make Balsamic Baked Onions And Potatoes Jamie Oliver

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cut 2 lbs potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Place in a pot of boiling salted water and cook for 8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  3. Gently ‘chuff’ the potatoes by shaking the pot to roughen their edges.
  4. Heat a large roasting pan (suitable for one layer of potatoes) on the stovetop over medium heat.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter to the hot pan. Add 2 sprigs fresh rosemary and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  6. Add the potatoes and toss to coat evenly with the oil, butter, rosemary, and garlic.
  7. Add 1 large red onion, thinly sliced, and 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  8. Cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly reduce the balsamic vinegar.
  9. Transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the potatoes and onions are deeply caramelized, crispy, and sticky. Halfway through baking, remove the pan and gently toss the onions and potatoes to ensure even browning.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
