1/2 lb purple potatoes (no need to peel) or 1/2 lb fingerling potato, scrubbed and trimmed (no need to peel)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 3/4 cups vegetable broth or 1 3/4 cups water
1 cup quinoa
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Cut the potatoes 1/4" thick. Cut slices into matchsticks 1" long by 1/4" wide.
In a 3 qt saucepan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are limp and beginning to brown, 3-5 minutes.
Add the broth and salt. Stir in quinoa and potatoes. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook until potatoes are tender and quinoa is translucent, 13-15 minutes. Add remaining olive oil and more salt, if needed.
