How to Make Balsamic Roasted Onions And Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 2 large yellow onions.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet (or Dutch oven) over medium heat.
  5. Add the potatoes and onions to the skillet. Toss to coat with the melted butter.
  6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly golden brown (about 10-15 minutes).
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper (about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper).
  8. Add 1 teaspoon dried sage and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine.
  9. Cover the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the skillet from the oven, uncover, and add the remaining 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar.
  11. Bake uncovered for another 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
