Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or red potatoes, washed and cut into bite-sized chunks or wedges
  • 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes and Additions

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, thyme, or chives
  • 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits
  • Red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cut your potatoes into bite-sized chunks or wedges, leaving the skin on for extra texture and nutrients. This helps ensure even cooking and a rustic finish.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Seasoning: In a large skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the Lipton onion soup mix, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful base that will coat the potatoes.
  3. Cook the Potatoes: Add the chopped potatoes to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly with the butter and soup mix. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and golden brown on the edges.
  4. Finish and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat once the potatoes are cooked through. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or optional garnishes like cheese or herbs. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes to hold their shape and provide a creamy texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure potatoes crisp up rather than steam.
  • Season gradually as the Lipton onion soup mix contains salt.
  • Butter adds richness and deeper flavor; olive oil is a good alternative.
  • Garnish just before serving to keep herbs fresh and vibrant.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Potatoes can be frozen up to 2 months if sealed properly; thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to restore crispness; avoid microwaving to keep texture.
