Here’s a simple, hearty Oven-Baked Amish Roasted Potatoes and Onions recipe — crispy edges, tender centers, and classic country flavor.
🥔 Oven-Baked Amish Roasted Potatoes and Onions
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
- 3 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large sweet onion, thickly sliced
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or large sheet pan.
2️⃣ Season Potatoes
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes and onions with oil or melted butter.
- Add salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and thyme.
- Toss until evenly coated.
3️⃣ Roast
- Spread in a single layer in baking dish.
- Bake 45–60 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Potatoes should be golden brown and fork-tender.
4️⃣ Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve hot alongside roast chicken, pork chops, or meatloaf.
Tips for Extra Crispiness
- Use a metal sheet pan instead of glass for crispier edges.
- Don’t overcrowd — space allows browning.
- For extra crunch, broil the last 3–5 minutes.
- Leave potato skins on for rustic texture.
