Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Serving Size 4

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds potatoes washed, dried, and cut into ¾ to 1-inch chunks (skins on)
  • 1 medium onion cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ red bell pepper cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ green bell pepper cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup butter melted (or lard, tallow, or neutral high-smoke-point oil)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F.
  • Cut the potatoes into ¾ to 1-inch chunks, leaving the skins on.
  • In a large bowl, combine potatoes, onion, and bell peppers.
  • Add melted butter or fat of choice and toss to coat. Optional: melt fat directly on the sheet pan in the oven for 2–3 minutes, then toss everything on the hot pan.
  • Spread the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan. Do not overcrowd.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until potatoes are golden, crisp, and fork-tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

  • Leave the skins on — they add texture and crunch.
  • For maximum crispiness, make sure potatoes are fully dried before roasting and not touching on the pan.
  • Lard or beef tallow can be substituted for butter for an even crispier result.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crunch.
