- 10 small fingerling or other boiling potatoes, peeled (1 lb.)
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 large onions, peeled and chopped (2 cups)

Preparation
1. Cook potatoes in boiling, salted water 5 to 8 minutes, or until soft. Drain, and set aside.
2. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add garlic, and cook 1 to 2 minutes more.
