Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes (or your favorite variety), peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced potatoes and onions with olive oil until well coated.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or rosemary (if using) to the bowl. Toss again to ensure the potatoes and onions are evenly seasoned.
- Arrange the potato and onion slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispiness, try to spread them out without overlapping too much.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Notes
- You can add a little grated parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy flavor.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mix.
- These potatoes can be served alongside grilled meats, roasts, or as part of a hearty brunch.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
