Ingredients
Scale
4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into 1/4-inch wedges or cubes)
1 large onion (sliced thinly or diced)
3 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Potatoes and Onions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Season:
Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper over the potatoes and onions. Toss well to coat evenly with the seasonings.
Arrange on the Baking Sheet:
Spread the potatoes and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast:
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip the potatoes and onions using a spatula, then roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Notes
For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
Add sliced bell peppers or mushrooms for additional flavor and texture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for best results.
