# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
2.2 lbs (1kg) waxy potatoes
02 -
1 small onion, finely diced
→ Seasonings and oil
03 -
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
04 -
1 pinch of salt, or to taste
05 -
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
06 -
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/5 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Dice the onion into small pieces, keeping them separate from the potatoes for now.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil until well coated. Sprinkle with salt and sweet paprika, then mix again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
03 -
Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C) fan setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer, avoiding overlap if possible. Bake for 25 minutes until the potatoes begin to soften and turn golden at the edges.
04 -
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, scatter the diced onions evenly over the potatoes, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. The potatoes should be golden brown and crispy at the edges, with the onions softened and slightly caramelized. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
# Notes:
01 -
These oven-roasted potatoes offer all the flavor of traditional pan-fried potatoes with less hands-on cooking time. They're perfect alongside grilled meats or as a hearty breakfast side. For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or rosemary before baking.
