Ingredients
Scale
Main Vegetables:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Oil:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 425°F (220°C) with a rack positioned in the middle to ensure even heating.
- Slice potatoes and onions into uniform, thin pieces to promote consistent cooking and crispy texture.
- Create a flavor base by thoroughly coating potato and onion slices with olive oil, ensuring each piece is evenly seasoned with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Arrange the seasoned potato and onion mixture in a single, spread-out layer to maximize crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the mixture halfway through to promote even browning and crunchiness.
- Check for golden-brown edges and crisp texture as indicators of doneness, adjusting cooking time if needed.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow slight cooling and further crisping before serving.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best crispy texture and even browning.
- Slice potatoes and onions uniformly to ensure consistent cooking and prevent burning.
- Pat potato slices dry with paper towels before seasoning to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Try different herbs like rosemary or thyme to add extra flavor complexity to the dish.
