  •     2 cloves garlic, sliced
  •     1 small onion, quartered
  •     1 tablespoon olive oil
  •     White balsamic vinegar or any vinegar choice 
  •     Salt and pepper

Preheat oven 400°F (205°C).  Place potatoes, garlic and onions on small baking sheet and lightly toss with oil. Drizzle white balsamic vinegar over top and add salt and pepper to taste.  Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender when pierced. Cook for around 30 minutes or less if potatoes are small.
