Roasted Italian Potatoes and Onions – A Delicious Side Dish.

The potatoes are first mixed with this lovely sweet smoked paprika in a bowl with some olive oil.  Next place the herbs on the bottom of the roasting pan. I used a silicone baking sheet.  It makes clean-up easier later.

Then slice the onions and place them on top of the herbs.  Finally, add the potatoes and paprika and drizzle with a bit more oil.

I love that the potatoes and onions are cooked on top of the fresh herbs, and then everything gets mixed together at serving time, and this infuses them with the flavor of the herbs.

These roasted Italian Potatoes and onions are a perfect side dish for any protein course or also a great main dish for vegans or vegetarians. The potatoes are so full of flavor, and roasting brings out the sweetness of the onions.  The paprika and fresh herbs make a wonderful flavor profile that really adds to the taste. We loved them.!

I served these potatoes with my seasoned grilled pork chops and they went perfectly together.
