Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions Recipe
Serves 4–6
Ingredients:
-
4 large russet potatoes
-
2 large onions
-
¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp paprika
-
½ tsp onion powder
-
½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp 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.
