Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes and place them in a plastic bag (two at a time) with the Lipton dry onion soup mix and oil.
- Shake the bag to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Place the coated potato slices in a baking dish or an uncovered pan.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding some garlic powder or a sprinkle of paprika to the potato mix. If you're looking for a healthier option, you can replace oil with a light spray of cooking spray or omit it altogether. For a unique twist, try using sweet potatoes instead of regular ones. This recipe can easily be adjusted to suit vegan recipes by ensuring the soup mix is plant-based.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy potato slices as a delicious side dish for grilled meats or alongside a fresh salad. They pair beautifully with Tart B.B.Q. Sauce for dipping or can be enjoyed as a snack on their own. Consider adding a side of Simple Apple Sauce to balance the flavors, making for a delightful meal experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the baked potato slices to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread the slices on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until they regain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this will make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for varied textures and flavors. Each type will yield a slightly different taste and crispiness, so feel free to try different varieties to find your favorite.
How do I ensure the potatoes are crispy?
To achieve maximum crispiness, make sure to slice the potatoes evenly and not too thick. Using a baking dish that allows for good air circulation will also help. Baking them uncovered and flipping halfway through cooking can enhance their crispiness.
Can I make these potatoes ahead of time?
While these potatoes are best served fresh, you can prepare them ahead by slicing and coating them with the soup mix and oil. Store them in the fridge in a sealed bag for up to a day before baking. Just remember to adjust the baking time if they come straight from the fridge.
