Step 5: Bake and Flip
- Place the tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes.
- Remove and carefully flip the potatoes and onions using a spatula so both sides brown evenly.
- Return to the oven for another 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden, crisp around the edges, and tender inside.
⏱️ Total baking time: around 40–50 minutes, depending on your oven and potato thickness.
Step 6: Add the Final Touch
Once beautifully browned, remove from the oven and sprinkle with a touch of fresh parsley or an extra pinch of salt. Let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving — this allows the edges to firm up for extra crispiness.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions are incredibly versatile:
- Serve them as a breakfast side with eggs and bacon.

- Enjoy as a snack, dipped in ketchup, spicy mayo, or ranch dressing.
You can even add a handful of shredded cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for a melty twist!
💡 Tips for the Best Oven-Fried Potatoes
- Use starchy potatoes (like Russets or Yukon Golds) for that fluffy inside and crisp outside.
- Flip only once — frequent flipping prevents proper browning.
- Hot oven, even layer — these two are key to “fried” texture without the frying pan.
- Add onions midway if you prefer them softer and less caramelized.
- For extra crispiness, toss the baked potatoes in a small pat of butter before serving.
