  2. Add the salt and turn the heat down to medium-low. Continue to cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the onions reduce and turn a dark, caramel brown. 

Make the Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. 
  2. Add the baby potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to keep the water simmering for about 15 minutes until fork-tender.
