How To Make Onion Soup Potatoes
- Preheat the Oven to 450°F.
- While the oven preheats, place the cubed potatoes, onion soup mix, seasoning, and oil in a gallon-size Ziploc bag. Seal, then shake until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- On a 9×13-inch baking pan, pour the potatoes out and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through.
- When the potatoes turn golden brown and tender in the center, remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. See below for storage and reheating options.
Tips and Variations
- When you set the temperature on the oven, slide the sheet pan inside. Once the oven reaches 450°F, dump the seasoned potatoes on the hot pan to get an instant sear.
- Although red potatoes are specified in this recipe, feel free to shake things up by using a colorful blend of red and fingerling potatoes.
- For even quicker cleanup, line the sheet pan with aluminum foil to prevent burnt-on residue.
- Add some fresh rosemary for a more herbaceous depth of flavor.
- This recipe is also perfect for the air fryer! Preheat your air fryer at 400°F for three minutes, add the potatoes to the basket in a single layer, then cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Storage and Reheating
Refrigerator: Store any leftover potatoes in a sealed container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Reheating: To best restore Onion Soup Potatoes to their original yumminess is to roast in an oven set to 400°F for about 15-20 minutes.
