A lovely aroma will fill the air as they’re cooking

When they’re done, you can eat them just like this,

soft and buttery with brown edges and onion flavor

Mix lightly, keeping some lumps for interest and texture-

over-mixing can make them pasty

They turn golden in color from the brown butter,

red skins and onion soup mix

Garnish with fresh rosemary if desired
