Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large plastic bag, combine potatoes, Lipton onion soup mix, and vegetable oil; close the bag tightly and shake until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Empty the coated potatoes into a shallow baking pan.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 40 minutes.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally during baking to ensure even cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the mix. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, substitute half of the vegetable oil with chicken broth or use olive oil. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for variety. Ensure the potatoes are cut uniformly for even roasting.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted potatoes and onions make a perfect side dish for grilled meats or alongside a hearty salad. They pair beautifully with dishes like Poor Man'S Supper or a refreshing Hominy And Black-Eyed Pea Salad for a complete meal. Consider serving with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
