Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold)
- 1 large onion (yellow or sweet)
Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 425F (220C) and lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly greasing to prevent adhesion.
- Thoroughly cleanse potatoes, removing any dirt or debris, then slice into uniform thin rounds approximately 1/4-inch thick to guarantee consistent cooking.
- Carefully peel onions and transform them into delicate rings, incorporating them into the potato collection.
- Generously coat the potato and onion mixture with olive oil, then infuse with aromatic seasonings including garlic powder, paprika, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper. Massage ingredients together until every morsel is evenly seasoned.
- Strategically distribute the seasoned vegetables across the baking sheet, ensuring a single layer with adequate spacing to promote optimal crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Transfer the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Midway through the cooking process, carefully rotate the vegetables using a spatula to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration and caramelization.
- Once potatoes reach a crisp, golden texture and onions develop a rich caramelized appearance, extract from the oven and allow a brief cooling period.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for an additional layer of vibrant flavor. Serve immediately as a delectable side dish or standalone snack.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent crispy texture and even cooking throughout the dish.
- Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for maximum crispness and golden-brown exterior.
- Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to remove excess moisture, helping achieve better caramelization and crunchier results.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like rosemary and thyme or smoked paprika for unique flavor profiles that elevate the basic recipe.
