Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with clean paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform wedges, approximately 1-2 inches thick. Try to keep the wedge sizes consistent for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, water, Lipton onion soup mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss gently, ensuring each potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 40-45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by inserting a fork. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the potatoes to set and cool slightly.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
Tips
- • Choose the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for this recipe, providing the perfect balance of crispy exterior and creamy interior.• Pat those potatoes dry: Removing excess moisture is crucial for achieving that coveted crispy golden-brown exterior. Use clean paper towels to thoroughly dry the potato wedges before seasoning.• Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give your potato wedges some breathing room. Overcrowding will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them, preventing that irresistible crispy texture.• Flip halfway through: Turning the potatoes midway through cooking ensures even browning and a consistent crunch on all sides.• Let them rest: Allow the potatoes to sit for 5 minutes after cooking. This helps them set and makes them easier to serve without falling apart.• Customize your seasoning: Feel free to add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for an extra flavor boost.
