Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups unpeeled, cubed russet potatoes (1-inch cubes)
• 2 medium sweet onions, thickly sliced
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• ½ tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat the oven the 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Put the potatoes, onions and olive oil in a large bowl and toss to coat. Put the chili powder, garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper in a small bowl and stir to combine.

Add the spice mixture to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Spread the potatoes and onions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until soft on the inside and golden on the outside, turning with a spatula halfway through baking. Cool slightly; taste and add more salt, as desired. Serve warm.
