Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions (Crispy, Golden & Irresistible!)
This Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions recipe is a must-save classic! Crispy on the edges, tender in the center, and bursting with bold flavor thanks to a mix of garlic, onion soup mix, and rosemary—this dish is pure comfort on a sheet pan.
Whether you serve it as a hearty side for roast chicken, steak, or a cozy breakfast with eggs, these golden potatoes are guaranteed to steal the spotlight. Bonus? They’re oven-baked, not deep-fried, so you get all the flavor without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
- 1 onion, halved and each half cut into quarters
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or more, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 450°F (230°C) so it’s piping hot and ready for that crispy finish.
2. Combine Ingredients
In a large roasting pan or baking dish, toss together:
- Sliced potatoes
- Onion wedges
- Canola oil and olive oil
- Chopped garlic
- Onion soup mix
- Fresh rosemary
- Ground black pepper
Stir everything well so the potatoes and onions are evenly coated in the herby, garlicky oil mixture.
3. Roast Covered
Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil and roast for 25 minutes. This helps soften the potatoes and start infusing flavor.
4. Roast Uncovered for Crispy Perfection
Remove the foil and continue roasting 15 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, edges are crispy, and onions are caramelized.
Serving Ideas
- Dinner side: Perfect with roasted meats, grilled sausages, or baked fish.
- Brunch favorite: Serve alongside eggs, avocado, and toast.
- Leftover magic: Toss any leftovers into a breakfast hash or a warm potato salad.
Tips & Variations
- Make it spicy: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
- Switch up the herbs: Try thyme or oregano instead of rosemary.
- Extra crispy? Use a large baking sheet instead of a pan for more space and airflow.
