Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
Seasonings & Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Coat vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes and onions with olive oil until well coated.
- Season: Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using) to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the potatoes and onions are evenly seasoned.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Arrange the potato and onion slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispiness, spread them out without overlapping too much.
- Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture, but other varieties can work as well.
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Flipping halfway through baking is important for crispening on both sides.
- Fresh herbs such as parsley add a nice touch of color and flavor but are optional.
- Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
