Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup + 1 teaspoon olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups yellow onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place diced potatoes into a large bowl, then add the olive oil. (It will feel like a lot of oil; this helps with roasting.) Toss to coat, then sprinkle with rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss again until evenly coated. It will look oily; this helps with roasting.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and spread them into an even layer. Roast for about 1 ½ hours, stirring every 20 minutes and scraping up any pieces that stick, until potatoes are crispy and tender.
  • While the potatoes roast, set a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onion and sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • When the potatoes are done, gently stir in the caramelized onions. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve hot.
