👩🍳 FAQs
What is the best type of potato for Lipton onion soup potatoes?
Baby Yukon gold potatoes (sometimes called "creamer potatoes" are my personal favorite, since the texture of the potatoes is soft and buttery. However, any high-starch potatoes will work, like red potatoes or russet potatoes (AKA Idaho potatoes).
Can I use sweet potatoes in this onion-roasted potatoes recipe?
Sure, if you think you'll like the sweetness paired with onion flavor and the other seasonings in Lipton onion soup mix.
Can I make onion-roasted potatoes in an air fryer?
Absolutely! This is a great recipe to make in the air fryer.
Follow the recipe as directed. However, instead of placing the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet pan, toss them in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees F for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Give the air fryer basket a good shake halfway through the cooking time so the potatoes roast evenly.

This is my new favorite recipe for baked potatoes! I never thought to season potatoes with dry onion soup mix, but man is it delicious! The skin gets crispy while the center is soft and fluffy. The absolute best potato texture you could ask for! The only thing I added was freshly ground black pepper.Reply
