Step 4: Season and Toss
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes and onions.
- Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, and toss well to coat every piece evenly.
- If you like, add a few sprigs of fresh rosemary or thyme at this stage for an aromatic boost.
Step 5: Arrange on a Baking Sheet
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Spread the potatoes and onions in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
Step 6: Roast in the Oven
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
- Keep an eye on the onions—they should caramelize slightly without burning.
Step 7: Check for Doneness
The dish is ready when:
- Potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges
- Onions are soft, slightly caramelized, and sweet
- A fork easily pierces through the potatoes
Step 8: Serve and Garnish
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or thyme for color and extra flavor.
- Serve hot as a side dish with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or even as a hearty vegetarian meal.
Tips for Perfect Ovnen Fried Potatoes and Onions
- Use a high-heat oil like olive oil or avocado oil for better roasting.
- Cut uniformly—this ensures everything cooks at the same rate.
- Don’t stir too often—let the edges crisp without constantly moving them around.
- Optional extras: add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist, or sprinkle grated Parmesan on top before serving for cheesy goodness.
