Ingredients
Potatoes and Vegetables
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
Seasonings and Oils
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or rosemary)
Optional
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup after roasting.
- Prepare the potatoes and onions: In a large bowl, combine the cubed Yukon Gold potatoes and sliced yellow onion. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well to coat all the pieces evenly with oil.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme over the potatoes and onions. Toss again thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly throughout the mixture.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated potatoes and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast the vegetables: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. Toss the potatoes and onions once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges and the onions are nicely caramelized.
- Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes and onions from the oven, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Toss ingredients halfway through roasting for uniform crispiness.
- Use parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Optional fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness.
- Substitute thyme with rosemary if preferred for a different herbal flavor.
