1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil (2-3 tablespoons) over potatoes and onions and toss until fully coated.
Sprinkle seasoning mixture over potatoes and onions and toss together making sure all potatoes are covered.
Roast at 425ºF for 30-40 minutes. Toss after 15 minutes, and again at 30 minutes. Depending on the size of the potatoes, an additional 10 minutes may be necessary. You know your potatoes are done cooking when they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside.
