How to Make Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes and Onions

This dish is incredibly easy to prepare, requiring minimal ingredients and effort. You can expect about 10 minutes of prep time, followed by 30 minutes in the oven to achieve that perfect golden crisp.

Key Ingredients for Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes and Onions

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, washed and diced
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

These ingredients deliver a simple yet incredibly flavor-packed experience that everyone will love!

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures your potatoes and onions get nice and crispy!
2. Prepare Your Vegetables: Wash and dice the potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes. Then thinly slice your onion.
3. Toss and Season: In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes and sliced onions. Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well until the vegetables are evenly coated.
4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the potato and onion mixture onto a large baking sheet in a single layer. This allows for even roasting and crispy edges.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even cooking and that delicious golden color.
6. Garnish and Serve: Once they’re done and incredibly crispy, remove them from the oven. Feel free to garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Top Tips for Perfecting Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes and Onions

• Substitutions: If you’re looking to switch things up, feel free to use other types of potatoes, like Yukon Gold for a creamier texture. Also, swap out the olive oil for avocado oil for an even richer taste.
• Timing: Keep an eye on your oven! Cooking times can vary. You want a golden-brown color with crispy edges, but not burnt.
• Avoiding Common Mistakes: Ensure you spread the potatoes out in a single layer; overcrowding the pan can lead to steaming rather than that coveted crispiness.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (which is rare, but it happens!), you can store your Crispy Oven-Fried Potatoes and Onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in an oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to maintain their fabulous crunch.

Now that you have all the tools you need, why not gather your family and give this easy, satisfying recipe a try? Your taste buds will thank you! Enjoy your cooking.
