Ingredients You’ll Need
You’ll be amazed at how just a few ingredients come together to make something this comforting and delicious. Each component for Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes plays a special role, from the potatoes that get ultra crispy to the onion soup mix that gives so much craveable depth.
- Yellow or red potatoes (2 lbs): These varieties hold their shape and get deliciously creamy inside while becoming crisp outside.
- Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Soup & Dip Mix (1 packet): This magical pantry shortcut infuses the potatoes with big, bold, and savory onion flavor in every bite.
- Olive oil (1/3 cup): Creates that perfect golden brown crust while keeping the potatoes moist and tender.
- Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon): Adds a subtle kick that balances out the savory richness of the onion soup mix.
- Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional): Brightens up the finished dish and adds a fresh, colorful touch.
How to Make Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Kick things off by cranking your oven up to 425°F (220°C). A nice, hot oven ensures your Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes will crisp up beautifully without steaming. Give your baking sheet a quick once-over to make sure it’s clean and ready to go.
Step 2: Mix the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine your potato chunks with olive oil, the entire packet of Lipton onion soup mix, and black pepper. Toss everything together so that every piece is coated in that seasoned, aromatic mixture. This is the secret to making sure every bite is loaded with flavor.
Step 3: Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single, even layer on your baking sheet. Leave a little space between each chunk so they roast up crispy on all sides and don’t end up steaming each other. If you have a dark metal sheet, use it for extra crunch factor!
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Slide the pan into the oven and roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, use a spatula to give the potatoes a gentle turn. This helps every side develop those irresistible golden edges. They’re done when they’re crispy outside, fork-tender inside, and deeply golden all over.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
As soon as they’re out of the oven, shower the potatoes with a little fresh parsley for color and brightness if you like. Pile them into a serving bowl and get them to the table while they’re piping hot and at their most tempting.
How to Serve Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes
Garnishes
These potatoes are perfectly delicious as-is, but a sprinkle of chopped parsley adds lively green color and freshness. For a little zing, try a scattering of sliced scallions or even a dusting of parmesan cheese while they’re hot for bonus flavor.
Side Dishes
Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes go with just about everything. Pair them with roasted chicken, grilled steak, or your favorite plant-based mains. They’re amazing next to eggs for breakfast, and also make a satisfying addition to a picnic spread alongside crisp salads.
Creative Ways to Present
For something special, try serving your potatoes on a rustic wooden platter piled high and garnished with herbs. They’re also fun in individual mini skillets or as part of a “build your own bowl” bar with toppings like sour cream, cheese, and chives for a festive twist.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, keep your Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors continue to meld, making them extra tasty even the next day.
Freezing
These potatoes freeze surprisingly well! Arrange cooled potatoes on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. When you’re ready, you can reheat straight from frozen.
Reheating
For best texture, reheat your potatoes in a hot oven or toaster oven at 400°F until heated through and re-crisped. The microwave works in a pinch, but the potatoes may lose some of their signature crunch.
FAQs
Can I make Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes with sweet potatoes?
Absolutely! Swapping in sweet potatoes gives a slightly sweeter flavor profile that pairs beautifully with the savory onion mix. Just keep an eye on the roasting time, as sweet potatoes may cook a bit faster.
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes?
No peeling required! The skin gets nice and crisp during roasting, plus it adds great texture and nutrients. Give your potatoes a good scrub and dice them up skin-on for best results.
Can I use a different brand of onion soup mix?
You can, although the classic Lipton mix is what gives Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes their signature taste. Other French onion-style soup mixes will work in a pinch, but you may want to adjust seasoning to taste.
How can I make this dish oil-free?
You can lighten things up by using less oil or substituting some with broth, though the potatoes won’t get quite as crisp. A nonstick baking mat or parchment paper helps keep sticking to a minimum if you go this route.
Are Easy Lipton Onion Roasted Potatoes gluten-free?
Double-check your soup mix, since some brands contain gluten. Lipton’s classic Recipe Secrets Onion Soup & Dip Mix is usually gluten-free, but always read labels to be sure for your specific needs.
