Lipton Onion Soup Roasted Potatoes
Some recipes become household staples without even trying—this is one of them. I remember the first time I made these Lipton Onion Soup Roasted Potatoes. It was a weeknight, I was tired, and I needed a side dish that wouldn’t keep me in the kitchen all evening. I had a bag of potatoes and a packet of Lipton onion soup mix. That’s it. What came out of the oven was nothing short of a little miracle—crispy edges, a golden, savory crust, and soft, tender centers.
My husband actually paused mid-bite and said, “What is this?!” The kids polished off their plates without a single complaint (a rare feat!), and now, these potatoes are requested regularly—especially when we have anything from roast chicken to grilled burgers on the table. They’re one of those sides that somehow go with everything and steal the show anyway.
What I love most is how incredibly easy they are. There’s no peeling involved if you don’t want there to be, and the seasoning is already built in thanks to that iconic soup mix. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you feel like a kitchen genius with almost zero effort. If you’re like me and always on the hunt for a trusty side dish that delivers every time, you’ve got to give this one a try. These potatoes are crunchy, flavorful, and a guaranteed hit with the whole crew.
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Can I use a different brand of onion soup mix?
Yes, any dry onion soup or dip mix should work similarly. Just make sure it has the same seasoning profile—onion flakes, bouillon, etc.
Do I need to peel the potatoes first?
Nope! In fact, leaving the skin on adds a nice texture and helps them crisp up. Just wash them well.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Absolutely. Toss the seasoned potatoes as usual, then cook them in batches at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
What kind of potatoes work best?
Yukon Gold or red potatoes are ideal because they hold their shape and get beautifully golden. Russets work too but may be a bit softer inside.
Can I prep these ahead of time?
You can chop and season the potatoes a few hours in advance. Just cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to roast.

Tips for Making the Best Lipton Onion Soup Roasted Potatoes
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give each potato piece space so they roast instead of steam.
Flip halfway. This helps both sides get equally crispy.
Cut evenly. Try to chop your potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
Double batch it. These go fast, so make extra—you’ll be glad you did.
Add-ins. Toss in some bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and color.
