Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 large onion
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Oil:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to 425°F, ensuring the rack sits in the middle position for even heating.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and tumble your 4 peeled potato wedges and sliced onion into it.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil directly over the vegetables, then sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder across the surface.
- Use your hands to thoroughly massage and coat every potato wedge and onion slice with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Transfer the dressed vegetables onto a rimmed baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer without crowding to guarantee maximum crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 425°F oven and roast for 15 minutes without disturbing.
- Carefully remove the sheet and flip the potatoes and onions using a spatula to ensure even browning.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until the edges turn deep golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 2-3 minutes to achieve peak crunchiness before serving.
Notes
- Slice potatoes and onions uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Use a heavy baking sheet and spread ingredients in a single layer to prevent steaming and promote browning.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can make potatoes soggy instead of crisp.
- For extra crunch, pat potatoes dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture.
