Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cut potatoes and sliced onions. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and coat well.
  • Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any fresh herbs. Toss everything together thoroughly.
  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
