Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp salt, or to taste
• ¼ tsp black pepper, or to taste

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes and Onions: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges and onion slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes and onions in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
4. Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
5. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra seasoning if desired.

Notes

• Cut Evenly: Make sure to cut the potatoes into similar-sized wedges to ensure even cooking.
• Extra Crisp: For even crispier potatoes, broil for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, watching closely to avoid burning.
• Substitutions: You can use sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter variation or swap out the thyme for rosemary for a different flavor.
• Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, or mozzarella) over the potatoes in the last few minutes of baking for a cheesy twist.
• Storage: Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep them crispy.
