Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
-
Caramelize the onion: In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
-
Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Cut them into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
-
Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, add the cut potatoes, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes. The potatoes should still be firm when pierced with a fork.
-
Drain and dry: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them sit for 5 minutes to dry.
-
Toss with butter: Return the potatoes to the pot and place it back on the stovetop (turned off). Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss the potatoes until the butter is fully melted and the potatoes are coated.
-
Season: Sprinkle the seasoning salt and paprika over the potatoes. Add the caramelized onions and stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
-
Bake to perfection: Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a 13×9-inch baking dish and spread them out in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender.
