Roasted Ranch Potatoes with Garlic and Onion

We had these with Christmas Eve dinner and the kids kept asking for them again.  So I made them again the other night.  Pretty darn TASTY!  A fun country style way to dress up regular old potatoes.  We think they are great, hope you do too.

Roasted Ranch Potatoes with Garlic and Onion

8 very large potatoes, washed and cut into large chunks
1 bulb garlic (yes the whole bulb not just a clove)
2 teaspoons Real Salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 Tablespoons Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix
1 Tablespoon Arrowroot powder
8 Tablespoons Olive oil
1 onion, cut in half and thinly sliced

In large pot place garlic (unpeeled) and potatoes.  Cover with water, place lid on pot and bring to a boil. While wait to boil in a small bowl mix the salt, pepper, ranch mix and arrowroot powder together. Uncover potatoes, reduce heat and cook for about 10 minutes, potatoes will not be fully cooked (still a bit hard)  Drain and place garlic in cold water to cool then squeeze the skins off.  Place peeled garlic cloves in with the potatoes.  Place 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in large casserole dish and coat the bottom of the pan.  Mix the rest of the Olive oil (6 Tablespoons) with the potatoes, mix in your Ranch mixture until potatoes are well coated.  Place potatoes in Casserole dish.  Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, turning once.  Then place sliced onions over potatoes and cook for another 20 minutes, turning once or until potatoes are well browned.  If you want more crispy potatoes cook a bit longer (about 10 minutes more).
