Potatoes
- 3 pounds medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into even-sized chunks or wedges
Seasoning Mix
- 1 package (about 1 ounce) Lipton onion soup mix
- 1/4 cup butter or olive oil, melted
- 2/3 cup water or broth
Optional Garnishes and Variations
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
- Shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese (optional, for cheesy twist)
- Minced garlic or garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
- Sliced bell peppers or mushrooms (optional)
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into even-sized chunks or wedges. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients or peel them if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Mix the Seasoning: In a bowl, combine the Lipton onion soup mix with melted butter or olive oil and water or broth. Stir well until evenly blended.
- Coat the Potatoes: Place the potato chunks in a baking dish. Pour the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to ensure each piece is fully coated.
- Bake Until Tender: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the potatoes uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and lightly golden on top. Stir the potatoes once halfway through baking for even cooking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a fresh, colorful finish before serving.
Notes
- Choose Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamy interior and thin skin ideal for roasting.
- Cut potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Spread potatoes out in the baking dish to prevent steaming and promote roasting.
- Stir potatoes once halfway through baking to evenly distribute seasoning and heat.
- If the seasoning mixture seems dry, add a splash of broth to keep potatoes moist during baking.
- For a cheesy variation, add shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- To make it vegan, substitute butter with olive oil or plant-based margarine and use a vegan-friendly onion soup mix.
- This recipe is not gluten-free unless you use a certified gluten-free onion soup mix or make your own seasoning blend.
