Absolutely! Oven-fried potatoes and onions are crispy, flavorful, and super easy to make—a healthier alternative to deep-fried potatoes. Here’s a simple recipe:
🥔 Ingredients (Serves 2–4)
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced or cut into wedges
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley)
👩🍳 Instructions
🔹 1. Preheat the oven
- Preheat to 220°C / 425°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
🔹 2. Prepare the vegetables
- Toss potatoes and onions in olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
🔹 3. Bake
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crispy and onions are caramelized.
🔹 4. Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
- Serve as a side with steak, chicken, or a hearty salad.
💡 Pro Tips
- Soak potato slices in cold water for 20–30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch; this makes them extra crispy.
- For a spicier twist, add chili flakes or smoked paprika.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—give each slice room to crisp up.
If you want, I can make a version with a cheesy garlic topping that turns these oven-fried potatoes and onions into a loaded, irresistible side dish. Do you want me to do that?
