Ingredients
2 lbs (900 g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 large sweet onions, sliced into thick wedges
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or roasting pan.
Arrange the potatoes and onion wedges evenly in the pan.
Pour the melted butter over the vegetables and toss until everything is well coated.
Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil, gently stir, and continue roasting for 25–35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and fork-tender. Stir once halfway through for even browning.
Serve hot with roasted chicken, meatloaf, ham, pork chops, or grilled steak.
Tips
Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
For crispier potatoes, spread them into a single layer during the final roasting stage.
