“This is a simple side dish for purple potatoes, onions and mushrooms. You can prepare this recipe in a large skillet. I prefer thoroughly scrubbing the potatoes and not peeling them.” - by wmihalo

Ingredients

6 purple potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large red onion, chopped
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon

Directions

Cut each potato into wedges by quartering the potatoes, then cutting each quarter in half. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, and cook and stir the onion and mushrooms until the mushrooms start to release their liquid and the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion and mushrooms into a bowl, and set aside.
Heat 2 more tablespoons of olive oil over high heat in the same skillet, and place the potato wedges into the hot oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until the wedges are browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, sprinkle the potato wedges with red pepper flakes, and allow to cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the onion and mushroom mixture, toss the vegetables together, and mix in the capers and fresh tarragon.

"I just used standard potatoes, but I found this a very useful recipe as I was cooking for about 16 people, and found that if I cooked the muchrooms and onions ahead of time, I could then put the potat..." See moreoes in the pan (I added zucchini, as well) and blacken juuust a bit and then put it in the warming oven for just about as long as I wanted to, and the potatoes would just continue to gain flavor and soften while the rest of my dishes cooked. Great recipe!"
