Description

A comforting twist on classic flavors combining crispy roasted potatoes and savory caramelized onions in a creamy dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: shredded cheese (Gruyère or Swiss)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Rinse the potatoes under cold water and slice them in half. Toss in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the oiled potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 15 minutes until caramelized.
  5. Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder in a bowl.
  6. Combine the roasted potatoes with the caramelized onions and the dressing. Gently fold together.
  7. Garnish with chives and optional shredded cheese. Serve immediately or refrigerate to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute sour cream and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. Avoid using waxy potatoes for better flavor absorption.
