Ingredients

500 grams baby potatoes
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
3 fat cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil, not extra virgin or any other oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander and dill, or chives or any fresh herb of your choice
a sprinkling of dried rosemary or thyme or oregano (or a mix of all)
salt to taste

Instructions

Bring sufficient water in a pot to a rolling boil. Scrub the potatoes well, leave the skin on. Add them along with a little salt to the boiling water and cook till tender, about approx 15-20 minutes (cooking time will vary according to their size). Then drain and keep aside.
Heat the butter and oil in a heavy based skillet/pan and add the chopped garlic. Fry for a few seconds and then add the onions and fry till they turn golden (I further caramalized them for that extra taste)
Toss in the chopped herbs and the pre-cooked potatoes, reduce the heat and fry the potatoes for a couple of minutes till the skin turns slightly golden. Sprinkle salt to taste.
Garnish with more fresh herbs and serve hot
