Brilliant Potatoes With Paprika and Caramelized Onions

“I have been making it since I was a teenager, and everyone in the family always requests it when I make dinner. I have shortened the prep time using canned, whole, white potatoes, instead of boiling my own. The results are just as delicious. If you are opposed to canned potatoes, use fresh, boiled potatoes. These potatoes make fantastic leftovers too! This is the first time I have ever given out the recipe. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!”

Fabulous! I boiled tiny new red potatoes (cut in half to bite size) for ten minutes as others recommended, and added very thin strips of red pepper, some skinny asparagus, and two large garlic cloves slivered. I carmelized the onions in 2 tbsps.butter and about a teaspoon and a half of sugar once they started sizzling. I didn't carmelize completely(maybe about 10 minutes on medium heat). The 40 minutes in the oven on 400 did the rest :) I also stirred about halfway through cooking time. Fiance could not stop raving!!! Thanks! :)

Wow! Amazing recipe!!! I used fresh red and yukon gold potatoes and one vidalia onion and one red onion, mmm. I didn't add the butter before the paprika either b/c I'm trying to watch the calories.

This recipe is great!! I used fresh new potatoes cut into large bite sized pieces. Then I followed the suggestions of several people... I precooked the potatoes for 4 minutes in the microwave. I then added some oil - stirred the potatoes in the oil, added the seasoning, and baked the potatoes. When the dish was 10 minutes away from being done, I stirred the potatoes and added the caramelized onions and paprika. I didn't add the butter at the end, it didn't need it. This recipe is a keeper! There was a small amount left over and I look forward to using it in a scrambled egg breakfast burrito tomorrow, yum!!

A definite keeper, my family loved them. I followed the recipe exactly except for using fresh potatoes instead of the canned. I peeled them, quartered them and put them in the microwave for 4 minutes before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. Thanks!

These were really lovely! My very picky husband said I have to make these all the time now! I left out the dried minced garlic because I didn't have any, but I don't think it really needed it in addition to the salt and powder, imo. And I just mixed the paprika in with the rest of the spices. Also, I didn't put on the extra butter at the end and I don't think I will when I make these again. Thirdly and lastly, caramelising onions takes longer than 10-15 minutes and on a lowish heat, but they are a great addition to these tasty potatoes! :D Thanks so much!
