Sometimes it is the simplest of dishes that give the most satisfaction. This is very much one of those dishes! It is hard to better simple roast potatoes – but this is a dish that does that!. Indeed it would be a lovely simple supper dish in its own right! This is a sautéed potato dish with onions, garlic, rosemary and peas. The secret is to hold your nerve and cook it for long enough for real caramelisation of the carbohydrates in this dish.
Firstly, set up the Big Green Egg for indirect cooking at around 170-180C. Whilst this is heating up, cut some good roasting potatoes into chunks and toss in olive oil. This was added to a pan in the Mini BGE with some fresh rosemary, or could be equally be done on a plancha in a larger EGG.
Once the potatoes are beginning to colour a chopped onion and a finely sliced garlic clove (or 2) 
was added with a little more rosemary. This collection was then cooked for another 15 mins or so, until the onion softened and began to take on a more interesting colour.
At this stage the cooking can be paused it you are cooking something else, and then quickly be brought back to temperature to serve. 
This is really easy if cooking in one of the handless pans which are now available. With or without a pause, this is the time to add the peas before the final 3-4 minutes cooking. The secret at this stage it to fry until the potatoes and onions just ‘catch’, and develop those little touches of full char on their edges.
Season and serve as a simple supper, as a tapas dish, or as an accompaniment to a meat dish.
………………………….perfect!
