Set your oven to 400°F and let it warm up.
02 -
Quarter the red potatoes and throw them in a pot. Pour in enough water to cover them, stir in kosher salt, then crank the heat to high until the water boils.
03 -
Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat, pour out the water, and leave the potatoes to cool a bit.
04 -
While waiting for the potatoes to boil, drizzle olive oil into a rimmed pan or baking dish. Toss in the garlic, then slide it into the oven to heat for about 5–7 minutes.
05 -
Carefully pull the heated pan out of the oven. Spread the potato pieces cut-side down without piling them up. Roast them for 30–35 minutes or until you see golden, crispy bottoms.
06 -
Take out the pan and flip the potatoes, so the other cut side faces down. Scatter the onion slices evenly over them.
07 -
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20–30 minutes. Stir them here and there to prevent the onions from catching too much color.
08 -
Once done, pull the pan from the oven. Sprinkle on the sea salt, black pepper, and some fresh chives before serving.
