An easy side dish recipe for oven roasted potatoes seasoned with Lipton onion soup mix.
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 husband’s heart.
Anyway, I’d bought some potatoes to make the Smothered Chicken & Potato Casserole and had enough left over to make these to go with our supper a few nights later.
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. Obsessed might be a better word.
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.

Easy Lipton Onion Oven Roasted Potatoes
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium potatoes
- 2 envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet (or two small ones) with cooking spray or rub with olive oil.
- Wash potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces, leaving the skin on. Add potatoes to a large mixing bowl. If there is any water in the bowl, pour it out (the drier the potatoes, the better).
- Add dry soup mixes, garlic, pepper and olive oil to potatoes then toss to coat.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer in prepared pan(s). Top potatoes with any oil/soup mix left in the bowl.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until gold brown and crispy, flipping once with a sturdy spatula halfway through cooking.
- Serve with sour cream and chives or good ol’ ketchup.

Sweet potatoes works well with this too
ReplyDeleteInstead of olive oil I use ranch dressing. Yum!
ReplyDelete❤️
DeleteYummy!
DeleteVery good recipe! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of onion powder ☺
ReplyDeleteYou are joking right?
DeleteHint: walk down the spice isle
DeleteThat’s crazy! 😳
DeleteThank 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.

ReplyDeleteCan I use parchment paper? Looking forward to making this.
ReplyDeleteSure :o)
DeleteThank you for this recipe Mandy! I remember having these years ago and wanted to make them for our family fish fry. Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThis is not the original recipe by a long shot.
DeleteThen what is ???
DeleteThis is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIf I cook these in a crockpot, how long do I cook them for? 4 hours? Thoughts?

ReplyDeleteI would think a crockpot would make them mushy. Plus doesn't a crock pot need added liquid to work properly?
DeleteI'd start with 3 on high and go from there.
ReplyDeleteCan I bake this at a much lower heat like 200-250 for a longer time, and if ya about how long,and wld I need to maybe broiler and end for crispy?? Thnk u
ReplyDeleteLove Lipton Onion soup mix but for anyone who does not tolerate MSG, use a generic soup mix. Lipton's contains MSG.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat could I add to make it even better? Maybe mushrooms? Some pearl onions? Anyone try anything additional?
ReplyDeleteSpanish sweet paprika
DeleteYes, mushroom, fresh garlic, onions, asparagus and I combine olive oil with a little butter. And always smoked paprika!
DeleteHave you ever tried using Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix??
ReplyDeleteYes, it's great too!
