Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds potatoes Opt for starchy varieties like Russets or Yukon Gold.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Adds a warm, smoky flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Chopped, optional for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly-sized cubes or wedges, approximately 1-inch in size.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes with olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper, tossing until well-coated.
  4. Add the sliced onion to the bowl and mix together.
  5. Spread the seasoned potatoes and onions in a single layer on a baking sheet, using parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.
  2. Watch for them to become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serving
  1. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For perfect crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
