Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into 1-inch cubes
Seasoning
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1.3 oz)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for roasting the potatoes evenly and to achieve a crispy texture.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cubed russet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil until they are thoroughly coated. This helps the seasonings stick and aids in roasting.
- Season the potatoes: Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper over the oiled potatoes. Toss the mixture again to evenly distribute all the seasonings throughout the potatoes.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. This prevents sticking and promotes even cooking.
- Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time. This ensures all sides become golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot as a perfect flavorful side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute olive oil with avocado oil or vegetable oil for roasting.
- Turn the potatoes at least once during roasting to ensure even crispiness and browning.
- Adding fresh parsley at the end not only adds color but also a fresh, herby flavor.
- For extra crispiness, consider using a metal baking sheet instead of glass.
- Make sure to cut potatoes into uniform cubes to allow even cooking.
