Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1-inch cubes.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, chopped onion, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop.
Drizzle the melted butter over the potato mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Spray a large baking dish or roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring all sides are coated.
Pour the seasoned potatoes and onions into the prepared pan, spreading them out into an even layer.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil, stir the potatoes gently, and return the pan to the oven uncovered.
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and fork-tender.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove the pan from the oven and garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy!
