Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven to a scorching 425°F (220°C) to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and tumble 4 medium potatoes (peeled and diced) and 1 whole sliced onion into it.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables, making sure you coat every single piece thoroughly.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, plus a generous pinch of salt and pepper across the mixture.
- Use your hands to toss and massage the seasonings, guaranteeing each potato and onion gets completely dressed.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables onto a baking sheet, creating a single, even layer with no overlapping pieces.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for exactly 30-35 minutes.
- Halfway through cooking, grab a spatula and carefully shuffle the potatoes and onions to promote even browning.
- Check the pan at 30 minutes – your goal is a gorgeous golden-brown color with crispy edges on both potatoes and onions.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven when vegetables look perfectly caramelized and crunchy.
Notes
- Opt for starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the crispiest exterior and fluffy interior.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and ensure even browning of your potatoes and onions.
- Cutting potatoes and onions into similar-sized pieces helps them cook uniformly and develop a consistent texture.
- For a dairy-free or vegan version, swap olive oil with avocado oil and add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor depth.
