Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into wedges or cubes
  • 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (about 1 oz)
  • 3 tbsp butter or olive oil, melted
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, chives), chopped, for garnish
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for cheesy variation)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika (for spicy variation)
  • 1–2 cloves garlic minced or 1 tsp garlic powder (for garlic variation)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly and cutting them into even-sized wedges or cubes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  2. Coat with Seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the cut potatoes with melted butter or olive oil. Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix over the potatoes and mix well until each piece is generously coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Arrange and Bake: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to maximize crispiness. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 35-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through baking to achieve even browning.
  4. Add Final Touches: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow air circulation and perfect browning.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Flip the potatoes carefully halfway through baking using a spatula to crisp both sides evenly.
  • Butter adds richness, while olive oil provides a lighter, heart-healthy alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or toaster oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to retain crispiness.
  • For freezing, spread cooked potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze, then transfer to freezer bags to prevent clumping.
