Oven-Fried Potatoes & Onions: A Crispy and Savory Side Dish


 

  • Spread the seasoned potatoes and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

6. Bake

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes.
  • Halfway through cooking, flip the potatoes and onions with a spatula to ensure even browning.
  • Continue baking until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the onions are caramelized.

7. Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor (optional).
  • Serve warm as a side dish or snack.

Tips for Perfect Oven-Fried Potatoes & Onions

  1. Uniform Slices: Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
  2. Dry the Potatoes: Pat the sliced potatoes dry with a paper towel before tossing with oil to help them crisp up.
  3. Use High Heat: Baking at 425°F ensures a crispy, golden exterior.
  4. Don’t Crowd the Pan: Overcrowding can lead to steaming instead of frying, so use two pans if needed.

Serving Suggestions

  • As a Side Dish: Pair with roasted chicken, grilled steak, or fish.
  • For Breakfast: Serve alongside scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage.
  • With Dipping Sauce: Try ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli for added flavor.

Storage and Reheating Tips

  • Refrigerate Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness, or use an air fryer for even better results.
