Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs (908 g / 32 oz) purple and white fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
  • 1 yellow onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) garlic powder
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) onion powder
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) sea salt
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml / 0.1 fl oz) freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) scallions, green part only, chopped
  • Ensure the potatoes are in a single, even layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will cause them to steam instead of roast, preventing them from getting crispy.
  • For the best texture, make sure the potatoes are completely dry before tossing them with oil and spices. This helps the skin get nice and crisp.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C.
  2. Place the halved potatoes and sliced onion on a large baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, turning as many as possible cut-side down for the best browning.
  6. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown, crisp on the outside, and tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Remove from the oven, stir in the fresh chopped scallions, and serve warm.
  8. Don't be afraid of the high oven temperature.
  9. Roasting at 425°F / 220°C is crucial for achieving that perfectly golden exterior and fluffy interior.
