Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes (cut into ¼-inch wedges or cubes)
- 1 large onion (sliced thinly or diced)
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the culinary workspace by heating the oven to a robust 425F (220C), preparing a spacious baking surface with parchment paper or a light oil coating to prevent sticking.
- Transform rustic potato wedges and sliced onions into a harmonious medley within a generous mixing vessel, bathing them in a glistening olive oil drizzle to ensure each morsel receives a uniform lustrous embrace.
- Awaken the ingredients with a symphony of seasonings: sprinkle garlic powder, smoky paprika, fragrant thyme, and a delicate balance of salt and pepper, thoroughly massaging these aromatic elements to create a comprehensive flavor profile.
- Choreograph the seasoned ingredients across the baking sheet, arranging them in a strategic single layer that allows ample breathing room, preventing steaming and encouraging crisp caramelization.
- Transition the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the potatoes and onions to transform for approximately 25 minutes, then gently rotate each piece using a spatula to ensure multi-dimensional golden perfection.
- Continue roasting an additional 20-25 minutes until edges become dramatically crisp and surfaces achieve a rich, amber-bronze complexion.
- Elevate the presentation by scattering fresh parsley across the landscape, then serve immediately as a vibrant accompaniment to your primary culinary creation.
Notes
- Prevent Soggy Potatoes by ensuring the baking sheet isn’t overcrowded, allowing each piece space for proper crisping and air circulation.
- Swap regular potatoes for sweet potatoes or mix different varieties for a colorful, nutrient-rich alternative that adds visual appeal and unique flavor profiles.
- Create a gluten-free and vegan-friendly version by using high-quality olive oil and checking seasoning ingredients for potential allergens or non-vegan components.
- Enhance crispiness by soaking potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying thoroughly, which removes excess starch and promotes a crunchier exterior.
