Ingredients

  • 1 envelope onion savory herb with garlic (Lipton)
  • 2 lb. potatoes, cut in large chunks
  • 1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients; put in a plastic bag and shake well.

  3. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 40 minutes, turning occasionally.

Tips & Substitutions

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme along with the onion savory herb mix. If you don’t have Lipton's onion savory herb, a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, and dried herbs can work in a pinch. Ensure potatoes are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking. You can also add vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for more variety.

Serving Suggestions

These herb-infused potatoes are perfect as a side dish with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. They can be served alongside dishes like ham, making them a great pair with Jezebel Sauce(Use With Ham). For a refreshing contrast, consider a light salad like Peach And Berry Salad to complete your meal.

Storage & Reheating

Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. This will help retain their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of potatoes for this recipe?

Absolutely! While russet potatoes are great for baking, you can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture. Just keep in mind that cooking times may vary slightly based on the type of potato and their size.

How do I know when the potatoes are done baking?

The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, and they should have a golden-brown exterior. Turning them occasionally during baking helps achieve an even crispiness.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the potatoes and herb mixture a few hours in advance. Simply combine everything and keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Just allow them to come to room temperature before placing them in the oven for even cooking.
