In a bind? Need a side dish without much prep?

Ingredients:
As many baking potatoes as will do the trick
As many chopped onions as you like (I like LOTS)
Melted butter or oil
Salt to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven 400F

Slice the baking potatoes lengthwise into thirds

Combine with onion

Drizzle butter or oil so that each tater and onion is lightly coated (salt to taste)

Whack it in the oven for 45 min or until golden.

Voilà!

Another option: Stick potatoes in a plastic bag and take a meat mallet to them so they get properly smashed into bits. Dump into pan and then continue with the recipe. Sweet Pea thought this method was hilarious.


Very cheap, very easy.
