Instructions
Preheat The Oven
I always start by preheating my oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the potatoes cook evenly and get that perfect golden-brown color.
Prepare The Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, I toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, garlic powder (if I want a garlicky kick), and black pepper. Mixing everything thoroughly ensures the potatoes are coated in that delicious onion seasoning.
Arrange In A Baking Dish
I spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a baking dish. This step is crucial because overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.
Bake The Potatoes
I bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to make sure every piece gets crispy on the edges. The aroma during this step is absolutely irresistible!
Garnish And Serve
Once the potatoes are fork-tender and golden, I sprinkle them with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve them immediately.
