Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, washed, peeled (optional), and cut into even cubes or wedges
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1 ounce)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted, or olive oil
Optional Additions
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash, peel if desired, and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes or wedges to ensure even cooking and good flavor absorption.
- Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato pieces with Lipton onion soup mix and melted butter or olive oil, making sure each piece is fully coated with the seasoning blend.
- Cook the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or casserole dish. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a crisp, golden exterior and tender inside.
- Add Cheese and Extras: Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. If desired, swirl in sour cream and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
- Melt butter before mixing for even seasoning distribution.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer to achieve crispy edges rather than steaming.
- Enhance flavor by adding garlic powder or paprika to the seasoning mix.
- Check potatoes with a fork around 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Leftover potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen without cheese for up to 2 months.
- Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispiness.
