Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions Recipe
Serves 4–6
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 large onions
- ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Wash and slice the potatoes — peeling is optional. Cut into ½-inch thick slices or wedges for extra crispiness.
- Slice the onions into thick rings or half-moons.
- In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and onions with olive oil and all the spices until evenly coated.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure the pieces aren’t crowded—this helps them crisp up instead of steam.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then flip everything with a spatula.
- Bake for another 15–20 minutes until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.
