Garlic potatoes

A quick and easy side dish.

Materials:

- 3 medium size potatoes; peel, clean and chop into rounds or cubes (as desired)
- 6 or more cloves garlic
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, chopped

Preparation:

Heat oil in a pan (use a non-stick one if you have it since this is a low heat recipe). Add onions and salt. Cover and cook on low heat until light brown. You may have to add water since we're using less oil here. Then add whole garlic cloves and potatoes. Stir and roast on low heat until potatoes are lightly browned. Then add water just about up to potato height and cover. Simmer until potatoes are cooked through. Then remove lid and dry off any remaining liquid. Add butter and gently brown the potatoes. Adjust salt and crush some black peppercorns on top if desired.

Serving:

Goes well as an accompaniment to pasta/egg dishes and is also great by itself with some toast.
