Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Rosemary, Caramelized Onions, and Bleu Cheese
Ingredients:
1 pound fingerling potatoes, rinsed, dried and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tsp butter
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped, stems discarded
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 cup bleu cheese crumbles
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Toss the halved potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet that has been covered in foil (easier clean up) and bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and golden brown.
Step 3: Meanwhile, prepare the caramelized onions. Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large skillet over low heat. Add onions and garlic and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until fragrant and onions appear translucent. Add the sugar and honey to the onions and toss to combine.
Step 4: Continue to cook onions and stir continuously until they turn a deep golden brown color, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 5: When the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven and place in a bowl with caramelized onions and bleu cheese. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning as necessary.
