I had these a few months back at my friend, Sandy’s house. I’d forgotten how simple and delicious these potatoes were! Not long after, I picked up a box of onion soup mix to have on-hand the next time I had potatoes laying around.

Which isn't often because all I ever cook is rice. Bless my poor meat-and-potatoes loving husband’s heart.

I know it seems odd to most of you that having potatoes around the house is a rarity for me. But you underestimate how much I love rice. I grew up with rice the way most folks did with potatoes.

Anywho, this recipe has been around for eons. You know why? Because it’s GOOD. In case you need a reminder or a recipe to go by, here’s how I make mine!

HOW TO MAKE EASY LIPTON ONION ROASTED POTATOES

  1. Wash potatoes then cut into 1-inch cubes (peel or don't peel - it's up to you!)
  2. Combine Lipton Onion Soup Mix, garlic powder, pepper and olive oil then toss with potatoes
  3. Grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil then spread potatoes onto pan
  4. Bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.

TIPS FOR MAKING EASY LIPTON ONION ROASTED POTATOES

You'll need about 3 pounds of potatoes or about 10 cups.

It's much easier to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasonings if you combine the olive oil, soup mix and spices first.

I never peel the potatoes but it is A-OK if you'd prefer to peel yours.

REALLY grease the pan well. I usually spray the pan with cooking spray then drizzle more olive oil over spray.

I prefer russet potatoes in this recipe more so than the less starchy potatoes like yukon gold and red potatoes but any potatoes will work.

Feel free to add whichever herbs or spices you'd like. Rosemary is always good with potatoes!

If you'd like to halve the recipe, go right ahead! You'll just need a smaller pan (13x9 is perfect!).

You can double the recipe IF your oven has convection mode or if you swap the pans between racks frequently (you'll need to use two pans).

  5. Thank you for this, had to look up what onion soup mix was called here. It is french onion soup, so yes it would make for a delish potato dish. Thinking will be using it next week for oldest birthday roast. Potatoes are 9 cent a kilo tomorrow.

    3. Literally nobody said it was. This one’s better imo because it has garlic powder.

    1. I would think a crockpot would make them mushy. Plus doesn't a crock pot need added liquid to work properly?

  15. Love Lipton Onion soup mix but for anyone who does not tolerate MSG, use a generic soup mix. Lipton's contains MSG.

  16. I halve this recipe (4 potatoes, 1 envelope soup mix, 1/3 cup EVOO) and make it in a 9x13 baking dish. Stir/flip them every 10 minutes for 30 minutes and they come out perfect... crispy outside and fluffy inside. So yum.

  17. What could I add to make it even better? Maybe mushrooms? Some pearl onions? Anyone try anything additional?

    1. Spanish sweet paprika

    3. Would you need to adjust anything? Time? Partial cook anything? thanks!

Hi there! While I’m not able to respond to every comment, I try hard to answer any questions that haven’t been addressed in the post, recipe or in other comments.

I can tell you now 1) I have no idea if you can substitute Minute Rice or brown rice in my recipes because I’ve never used them and 2) If I know how to convert a recipe to a Crock Pot version, I will make a note about it (otherwise, I don’t know).

And though I may not respond to them all, I do read each and every comment and I LOVE to hear from you guys! Thanks, y’all! - Mandy
