Famous Crispy Potato Casserole

Ingredient

• 3 pounds russet potatoes, diced into small chunks
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• scant 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 6 cloves of garlic, finely diced or minced

Instruction

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees
• Dice potatoes and place in a glass 13 X 9 pyrex baking dish
• Sprinkle potatoes with thyme, salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powder
• Pour on olive oil and toss the potatoes until spices and oil are well coated (it will be very oily – you will need the oil to help with roasting)
• Spread out potatoes into an even layer so that they cook evenly
• Roast potatoes at 425 degrees for around 1.5 hours, checking every 20 minutes
• Every 20 minutes, remove potatoes from oven and use a spatula to scrape any stuck pieces from the bottom of the pan and toss potatoes around.
• Cook for approximately 1.5 hours, or until potatoes are crispy and tender
• Once potatoes are almost done, dice up a yellow onion and 6 cloves of garlic
• Sautee onion and garlic with a touch of olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat
• Sautee for 10-15 minutes, or until caramelized and cooked down
• Once potatoes are finished cooking, transfer onion mixture to the dish with the potatoes and stir
• Serve and enjoy!
