Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions
There’s something irresistible about crispy, golden potatoes paired with sweet caramelized onions. This Oven-Fried Potatoes & Onions recipe delivers the perfect balance of crunch and tenderness, with minimal oil and maximum flavor. Whether you’re serving them alongside a juicy steak, a fried egg, or enjoying them solo, these potatoes are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. The secret? A clever combination of high heat, proper oil distribution, and a touch of patience to achieve that perfect crisp.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup and crispier edges.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes and chopped onion with olive oil. Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat every piece evenly.
- Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding-use two pans if needed to allow everything to crisp up instead of steaming.
- Roast for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through. For extra browning, increase heat to broil for the final 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Once golden and crispy, transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
ENJOY!!
