Ingredients

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

2 pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold), halved or quartered

1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (about 1.9 oz)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

I preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Then, I wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size.

In a large mixing bowl, I toss the potatoes with olive oil, the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, and garlic powder if I’m using it.

I make sure everything is evenly coated and spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet.

I roast them for 25–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through so they get crispy on all sides.

Once they’re golden and have those irresistible crispy edges, I take them out of the oven and sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top if I have it on hand.

I serve them hot right away—they don’t last long!

Variations

I sometimes swap the baby potatoes for sweet potatoes when I want a slightly sweeter twist.

Adding some grated Parmesan before baking adds a cheesy crunch.

For extra color and flavor, I mix in bell peppers or onions alongside the potatoes.

I occasionally add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Using avocado oil instead of olive oil gives a slightly nuttier flavor and higher smoke point.

Storage/Reheating

If I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to reheat, I prefer using the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness—about 10 minutes at 375°F works well. The microwave is quicker, but the texture won’t be as crispy.

FAQs

How do I make the potatoes extra crispy?

I make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet—space between the pieces allows them to roast instead of steam. Also, flipping them halfway through the bake time helps with even crisping.

Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?

Yes, I often use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes—just cut them into small, even-sized chunks to ensure they roast evenly.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

The Lipton Onion Soup Mix used to contain gluten, but some varieties are now gluten-free. I always check the label to be sure if I’m serving someone with dietary restrictions.

Can I make this ahead of time?

These are best fresh from the oven, but I sometimes prep the potatoes and toss them with the seasoning a few hours ahead. I just store them in the fridge and roast them right before serving.

What main dishes go well with these roasted potatoes?

I love pairing them with grilled chicken, steak, roasted vegetables, or even a veggie burger. They’re also a great addition to brunch with eggs and sautéed greens.
