Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a medium-sized pot. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Boil the potatoes for 10–12 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool slightly.
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, and cook for 7–8 minutes until the onions are golden-brown and caramelized. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
Cut the boiled potatoes into halves (or quarters if they are larger).
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast them for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
Add the potatoes to the skillet with the sesame seeds. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in sesame seeds and oil.
Sprinkle ground black pepper, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt over the potatoes. Toss everything together to combine.
Cook the potatoes for 5–6 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they are golden and crisp on the edges.
Add the caramelized onions back into the skillet and toss with the potatoes. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to warm everything through.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished potatoes for a fresh, herby garnish.
Serve the Sesame Onion Potatoes warm as a side dish or a hearty snack.
