Well now, let me tell ya, if you ain’t tried makin’ them Lipton French onion soup mix potatoes, you’re missin’ out on somethin’ good! I remember the first time I gave it a try, I was standin’ in the kitchen, scratchin’ my head, thinkin’ to myself, “What’s so special ’bout these here potatoes?” But lemme tell ya, after I made ’em, they were gone faster than you can blink an eye.
You start off with them good ol’ potatoes, y’know, the ones that ain’t too big or too small. I reckon you could use any kind of potatoes, but if you want ’em just right, you want somethin’ that’ll roast up nice and crisp on the outside but stay soft and fluffy on the inside. Russets work mighty fine for this here recipe.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 packet of Lipton French onion soup mix
- 4 or 5 medium-sized potatoes
- 1/4 cup of olive oil (or whatever oil ya got handy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A bit of garlic powder or some fresh herbs if ya fancy
Now, the first thing ya gotta do is peel them potatoes and cut ’em into chunks. Don’t make ’em too small or they’ll burn up quicker than you can say “hot potato!” Just cut ’em into about bite-sized pieces, maybe a little bigger if you like ‘em hearty.
Once you got your potatoes cut up, throw ’em in a big ol’ bowl. Then, pour in your olive oil. Don’t be shy, but don’t drown ‘em either. Just enough to coat ’em good. After that, sprinkle the Lipton French onion soup mix all over ’em. And I mean all over. The soup mix ain’t just for makin’ soup, y’know, it makes them potatoes taste mighty fine!
Give ‘em a good stir so that every piece of potato gets a nice coating of that savory mix. Now, you can add a little salt and pepper, maybe some garlic powder if you like it a little more zingy. I tell ya, these potatoes don’t need much, ’cause that onion soup mix does all the work for ya.
Gettin’ ‘em ready to bake:
Next, you’ll want to spread them potatoes out on a baking sheet or a roasting pan. You want to make sure they ain’t all piled up on top of each other, or they ain’t gonna cook right. Lay ‘em out nice and even, and pop ‘em in the oven at 425°F. Bake ‘em uncovered for about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how crispy you like ‘em.
Now, here’s the trick: Every once in a while, you gotta give ’em a stir. Maybe every 15 minutes or so. You want them to get all golden and crispy, but you don’t want them burnin’ on one side. Stir ‘em around, and they’ll cook up just right.
Why Lipton Onion Soup Mix?
You might be wonderin’, “Why use Lipton onion soup mix?” Well, let me tell ya, that stuff adds a flavor like no other. It’s got that rich, savory taste that makes everything better. You could just throw some plain ol’ salt and pepper on ‘em, but that Lipton mix? That’s the secret to makin’ them potatoes stand out. It’s just got that special somethin’ that makes ‘em irresistible!
And, you know what else? If you got a little extra time, you could throw some shredded cheese on top near the end of bakin’. Maybe some cheddar or mozzarella – whatever you got in the fridge. It’ll melt down into that oniony goodness and make your potatoes even more tasty. But that’s up to you – they’re plenty good just as they are.
