Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into chunks or wedges
- 1 envelope (1 oz) Lipton onion soup mix
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry your potatoes thoroughly. You may peel them if preferred, but leaving the skins on adds texture and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into even chunks or wedges to ensure uniform cooking.
- Mix the Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix with melted butter and olive oil. This mixture creates a flavorful coating that will cling to the potato pieces beautifully.
- Toss the Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes to the seasoning mixture and toss until every piece is well-covered. Use your hands or a spatula for even coating.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until potatoes are tender inside with a crispy, golden exterior.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle fresh parsley over the potatoes for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm and flavorful.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for creamy insides and crispy outsides.
- Cut potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow potatoes to crisp up instead of steaming.
- Flip potatoes halfway through baking for even browning on all sides.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley last to preserve their bright flavor and color.
