Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into evenly sized cubes or wedges

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (regular or reduced sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 23 tablespoons water or broth

Optional Garnishes

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for spice
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese
  • Optional: fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives
  • Optional: 1-2 cloves garlic, minced (for sautéing with potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes or wedges to ensure they cook evenly and develop a tender texture.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix with olive oil or melted butter and a splash of water or broth. This mixture will help coat each potato piece evenly with flavor.
  3. Toss and Bake: Place the potatoes in a large bowl, pour the seasoning mixture over them, and toss gently to coat every piece. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  4. Roast Until Golden: Bake the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should become golden, slightly crispy on the edges, and full of savory flavor.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or your preferred herbs on top for color and brightness, then serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and avoid undercooked pieces.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; spread potatoes out for proper air circulation and crispiness.
  • Roast at a high temperature (400°F/200°C) to develop crispy edges and caramelization.
  • Use the full packet of Lipton onion soup mix to keep the dish flavorful and vibrant.
  • If available, use the oven’s convection setting for faster and more even roasting.
  • For a spicy variation, add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
  • For a cheesy twist, stir in shredded cheddar or parmesan before serving.
  • To make vegan, use olive oil instead of butter and confirm the seasoning mix is free of animal ingredients.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze leftovers in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to freezer bags for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat to regain crispiness.
