Ingredients
Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
Onions
- 1 large sweet onion
Olive Oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh Herbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that crispy texture.
- Prepare the Ingredients
Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into even-sized pieces to ensure they roast uniformly. Slice the onions into wedges.
- Toss with Seasonings
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and onions. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss until everything is well-coated.
- Roast in the Oven
Spread the potato and onion mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet. This allows them to roast evenly and get crispy. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown, tossing halfway through.
- Serve and Enjoy
Once roasted to perfection, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delightful aroma and flavor!
Notes
- Uniform Cuts: Cut the potatoes and onions into similar sizes for even cooking.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Give them space on the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
- Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheet makes cleanup easier and helps with browning.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to personalize the spices to suit your taste.
- Check for Doneness: Use a fork to check if the potatoes are tender and golden.
