  • 1 large fennel bulb (sometimes called anise) with fronds
  • 1 large onion , halved lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices (2 cups)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

  4. Add potatoes and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to fennel mixture and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, 3 minutes. Add water and cook, covered, stirring once, until potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes more. Stir in fennel fronds before serving.
