My Best Friend Couldn’t Believe How Easy This Was: Only 3 Ingredients for the Most Flavorful Potatoes Ever! 🔥🤤
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30-35 minutes | Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs small red potatoes, washed and cut into quarters
- 1/3 cup olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
Directions:
Step 1: Prep and Preheat
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). For the easiest cleanup imaginable, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 2: Toss to Coat
In a large mixing bowl, combine your quartered red potatoes, olive oil, and the entire packet of dry onion soup mix. Toss everything together vigorously until every single potato wedge is thoroughly coated in the oiled seasoning.
Step 3: Spread Them Out
Spread the potatoes out onto your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Pro Tip for Maximum Crispiness: Make sure the potatoes aren’t piled on top of each other. If they are too crowded, they will steam instead of roast, and you’ll miss out on those delicious, crispy edges! Turn as many potatoes as you can so they are cut-side down on the pan.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking (around the 15-minute mark), give the potatoes a good flip with a spatula to ensure even browning.
You’ll know they are done when the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and the outer edges are golden-brown, crispy, and coated in a deeply caramelized onion glaze. Serve hot right out of the oven!
