🥔🧄 Garlic Roasted Potatoes and Onions
This is a simple, crispy, savory side dish—golden potatoes roasted with sweet caramelized onions and lots of garlic. It goes with almost anything: chicken, steak, fish, or even as a snack.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 kg potatoes (baby potatoes or cut into chunks)
- 1 large onion (sliced into wedges)
- 4–6 cloves garlic (minced or whole smashed cloves)
- 3–4 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional for color & flavor)
- 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (optional but recommended)
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Set oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Prep the vegetables
- Wash and cut potatoes into even-sized pieces.
- Slice onions into thick wedges so they don’t burn too quickly.
3. Season everything
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes, onions, and garlic with:
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- paprika
- herbs
Make sure everything is evenly coated.
4. Roast
- Spread mixture on a baking tray in a single layer.
- Roast for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Potatoes should be golden, crispy on the edges, and soft inside.
5. Optional finishing touch
- Sprinkle a little extra salt or fresh herbs after roasting.
- Add a small drizzle of butter for extra richness.
🍽️ Serve
- Serve hot as a side dish or add a dipping sauce like:
- garlic mayo
- ketchup
- yogurt herb dip
🔥 Tips for best results
- Don’t overcrowd the tray—crispy edges need space.
- Cut potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
- For extra crispiness, preheat the baking tray before adding potatoes.
If you want, I can also make a parmesan-crusted version, an air fryer version, or a spicy Cajun roasted version.
