Roasted Potatoes

These are quick to prepare and easy to make with just a few ingredients.

You'll need:
500 gms potatoes 
2 carrots (cleaned and peeled)
A few sprigs of Rosemary or Sage
1 large Onion (peeled and cut in half)
3-4 cloves of Garlic
3-4 tbsp Olive oil
Seasoning

1. Par boil the potatoes (I put it in the microwave for about 5 minutes) - this apparently helps in absorption of flavours.
2. In a pan, heat the oil on high heat, add the garlic and herb of choice, quickly add the potatoes and carrots making sure they're coated in the oil. Season and remove from heat after 2 minutes.
3. Put everything in a baking pan and add the onion. Make sure the pan is big enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer. They shouldn't be on top of each other else, it will not roast properly.
4. Put in a pre-heated oven to 200 deg C for about 40 minutes. Serve hot
