Oven-Fried Potatoes & Onions

Ingredients

  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and sliced ¼ inch thick
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme for extra flavor
  • Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Vegetables:
    In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced potatoes and onions together.
  3. Season:
    Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables. Add garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and any optional herbs. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
    Spread the mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Try not to overcrowd.
  5. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 35–45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges and onions are caramelized.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or hearty snack.
