If there’s one side dish that never fails to bring comfort and flavor to the table, it’s a skillet full of oven-fried potatoes and onions. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and kissed with caramelized onion goodness, this dish is pure home-cooked perfection. It’s everything we love about diner-style hash browns—but made easier and healthier by baking in the oven instead of deep frying.
Whether you're whipping this up for a hearty breakfast, a simple supper, or a side to grilled meats, oven-fried potatoes and onions will always earn their place on the plate.
Why Oven-Fried Is the Way to Go
Traditional fried potatoes require stovetop babysitting and plenty of oil. With this oven method, you get all the crisp without the fuss. It’s hands-off, cleaner, and the high oven heat delivers beautiful browning and rich, roasted flavor that rivals the skillet—especially when the onions start to caramelize and cling to the golden potatoes.
