Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices Russet potatoes are preferred for crispiness, but Yukon gold can be used.
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced Sweet, caramelized flavor when roasted.
- 3 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil or any neutral oil.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds cozy, savory flavor.
- 1 teaspoon paprika For flavor enhancement.
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme Optional; can be substituted with oregano or Italian seasoning.
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley Optional, for garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, combine potato slices and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread potatoes and onions on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, flip the potatoes and onions with a spatula, and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Serving
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Soaking potato slices in cold water for 20-30 minutes before cooking can enhance crispiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
