Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 cup halved and sliced red onion

Directions

  1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 500°F.

  2. Toss potatoes, butter, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Arrange in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. (Don't use a glass dish, which could shatter.) Roast, flipping once, until browned, about 30 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
