🥔 Classic Roasted Potatoes and Onions

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of rich, savory flavor —
these classic roasted potatoes and onions are the perfect side dish for almost any meal.
Simple ingredients, timeless taste, and incredibly easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900 g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled (optional) and cut into chunks
• 2 large yellow onions, sliced into wedges
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or thyme)
• ½ teaspoon paprika (optional, for color and flavor)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
   Cut potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even roasting. Slice onions into thick wedges.
3. Season:
   In a large bowl, combine potatoes and onions. Add olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and paprika. Toss well until evenly coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
   Spread mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure crispiness.
5. Roast:
   Roast for 35–45 minutes, stirring halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and crispy outside and tender inside.
6. Garnish & Serve:
   Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Roasted Potatoes

• For extra crispiness, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before roasting.
• Use a large, heavy baking sheet to prevent steaming.
• Add grated Parmesan cheese during the last 10 minutes for a delicious twist.
