These extra crispy roasted potatoes get a flavor boost from a packet of Lipton french onion soup. They're the perfect side for chicken, steak, pork, and more.
Peel the potatoes if desired (I usually leave the skin on, especially for yukon gold potatoes). Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and dry with a paper towel if they're still wet from washing.
Place the potatoes in a large bowl, along with the oil and onion soup mix. Toss gently to combine.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large metal sheet pan, making sure none of the potatoes are touching.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through. Use a thin metal spatula to wriggle them free from the pan if they stick a bit.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
You can also use red potatoes if you prefer. I leave yukon gold potatoes and red potatoes unpeeled, but I peel russet potatoes due to the thicker skin.Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to one week. Reheat in the oven (about 8–10 minutes at 400°F). They won't be quite as crisp as when you first made them, but they'll still be good.
