Easy Oven Roasted Potatoes with Lipton Onion Soup Mix

The family dinner was approaching the critical “what’s our side dish?” moment when I remembered the pantry staple that has saved countless meals in my household. Opening the cabinet, I spotted the familiar box of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and immediately knew what would soon be filling our home with mouthwatering aromas. There’s something almost magical about how this humble packet transforms ordinary potatoes into a dish that consistently receives the highest compliment in my home: an empty serving dish.

Why Lipton Onion Soup Mix is the Perfect Addition to Roasted Potatoes

The secret to these incredibly flavorful potatoes is the dehydrated onion soup mix, which contains the perfect blend of onion, salt, and savory elements that infuse the potatoes as they roast. The vegetable oil helps distribute these flavors evenly while creating a crispy exterior. By roasting at the ideal temperature of 375-425°F, the potatoes develop a golden crust while maintaining a fluffy interior. The uniform size of the potato cubes ensures even cooking, and the single-pan preparation means minimal cleanup. This recipe exemplifies how the right shortcut ingredient—in this case, Lipton Onion Soup Mix—can deliver restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.

Notes

The key to perfectly roasted potatoes lies in cutting them into uniform sizes, which ensures they cook evenly. For extra crispiness, make sure to thoroughly dry the potatoes after washing—excess moisture prevents proper browning. Don’t be tempted to stir the potatoes too frequently during baking; let them develop a golden crust before turning. If using a dark metal pan, you may need to reduce the cooking temperature by 25 degrees to prevent over-browning. For an elegant presentation, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

    I use Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning and olive oil add salt and pepper to taste works great and easy put them in air fryer about 30 minutes have to shake about have way

  2. Jean G

    Lipton onion soup says 425 for 35 minutes. I’m trying it this way first so the potatoes don’t burn. I think 450 for 40 mini might give me charred pieces.

  3. Tracy Robinson

    Used my own spice mix instead of the Lipton soup (only because I didn’t have Lipton). InTrying you reduce salt intake, it wasn’t “POW” but it was still super delicious

  4. MarySue

    I am going to try to make this for our free community meal at church. I am cooking for about 150 people. The potatoes look delicious. thanks for the recipe

  5. Wendy Martin

    This is the same recipe that is on the box of the Lipton soup mix, it’s just that other ingredients were used!!

  6. Barbara

    I love roasted potatoes and I will try this, but with my homemade onion soup mix that costs WAY less. My way, for two people? Two medium potatoes, a teaspoon or two of my mix, plus red and yellow sweet peppers and fresh onions.

  7. Honey Fyre

    These are great with nothing but olive oil, garlic salt and rosemary too.. I didn’t add the onion mix at all..
    Wow they are so good. Next time i’ll try the onion mix.

  8. Dave Whyte

    I do these all the time at home but I love to give them a sprinkling of rosemary and thyme and kosher salt and pepper. Others also use chicken soup mix.
