OVEN FRIED POTATOES & ONIONS

Step 3: Slice the Onions

1. Peel the onion and cut it into thin wedges or slices.
2. Keep the onion pieces roughly the same size as the potato pieces to ensure even roasting.

Step 4: Season the Vegetables

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and onions.
2. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.
3. Toss everything together until the potatoes and onions are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.

Tip: Add a teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme at this stage for a fragrant, savory flavor.

Step 5: Arrange on a Baking Sheet

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Spread the potatoes and onions in a single layer, making sure nothing overlaps. Crowding the pan can make them steam instead of crisp.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking.
3. Keep an eye on the edges—potatoes should be golden brown and slightly crispy, while onions should caramelize slightly for added sweetness.

Step 7: Serve and Garnish

1. Remove from the oven and transfer the potatoes and onions to a serving dish.
2. Optional: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or a pinch of extra paprika for presentation and flavor.
3. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Tips for Perfect Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions

• Use a hot oven: High heat is key for crispiness.
• Do not overcrowd the pan: Spread vegetables in a single layer for even roasting.
• Experiment with spices: Smoked paprika, chili powder, or Italian seasoning can elevate the flavor.
• Leftover tip: These potatoes and onions are great cold in salads or reheated in an air fryer or skillet for extra crispiness.

Why This Recipe Works

Baking instead of deep-frying reduces oil consumption while still delivering crispy, golden potatoes. The combination of garlic, paprika, and caramelized onions creates a flavorful dish that pairs perfectly with eggs, roasted meats, or even on its own as a comforting snack.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of savory flavor—oven fried potatoes and onions are a simple yet irresistible dish that everyone will love.
