Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 pounds potatoes cut into eighths (about 6-8 medium-sized potatoes of your choice)

Instructions

  • Step One
  • First, preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Step Two
  • Next, mix the olive oil and dry onion soup mix in a shallow roasting or baking pan. Add the potatoes and turn and mix them in the olive oil mixture until they are completely coated.
  • Note: If you want to get these ready a few hours in advance, place all of the ingredients in a large ziplock bag, turn the bag over a few times to coat the potatoes, and stick it in the fridge until you’re ready to roast the potatoes.
  • I wouldn’t do this days in advance, as I’m not sure how quickly the potatoes will brown, but I’ve done this in the morning and then cooked the potatoes around dinner time with no issues on several occasions.
  • Step Three
  • Finally, bake the potatoes uncovered for about 60 minutes or until they are golden brown and tender. It’s a good idea to check on them every now and then and give them a stir for even browning.
  • For an extra pretty presentation, add a few swigs of fresh rosemary to your Oven Roasted Potatoes.
