Ingredients
4-5 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best for a tender texture)
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (the star ingredient for that bold, umami flavor)
1/4 cup olive oil (or melted butter for extra richness)
1/2 cup sour cream (adds creaminess and a tangy twist)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but highly recommended for a gooey finish)
2 cloves garlic, minced (for a hint of aromatic depth)
Salt and pepper to taste (adjust based on your preference)
Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish and a pop of freshness)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them for a smoother texture or leave the skins on for a rustic touch.
- Cut the potatoes into cubes for even cooking. Pro tip: Uniform pieces ensure they bake evenly and soak up all that delicious flavor.
Step 2: Season to Perfection
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato cubes with 1/4 cup olive oil (or melted butter) and 1 packet of Lipton onion soup mix. Mix thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly covered.
- Add minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Bake to Golden Goodness
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer for optimal crispiness.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches
- Once out of the oven, drizzle the potatoes with sour cream and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes to let the cheese melt into gooey perfection.
- Top with fresh parsley or chives to add a burst of color and a hint of freshness.
