I enjoy recipes that are both easy and packed with flavor, and this one definitely hits the mark. The Lipton onion soup mix adds a savory depth to the potatoes without needing a dozen extra spices or complicated prep. Plus, roasting the potatoes gives them a crispy outside and tender inside, which is exactly the texture I look for. This recipe is a great way to elevate a simple side without spending too much time in the kitchen.

Ingredients

4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1.3 oz)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil until they’re well coated.

Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, garlic powder, and black pepper over the potatoes and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.

Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside.

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 4 servings. It takes about 10 minutes to prep and 40 minutes to cook, so the total time is around 50 minutes. It’s perfect for a quick side dish that feels homemade and comforting.

Variations

I sometimes add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a little extra heat.

Using sweet potatoes instead of russets adds a lovely sweetness to balance the savory onion seasoning.

For extra crispiness, I like to parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before roasting.

If I want a cheesy twist, I sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Adding chopped fresh rosemary or thyme can add a wonderful herbal note.

Storage/Reheating

I usually store leftover roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, I recommend warming them in a 375°F oven for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness. Microwaving works in a pinch but tends to make them a bit soft.
