Ingredients For Roasted Potatoes
- Dry onion soup mix: This gives the potatoes a rich, savory flavor with almost zero effort. Just what I love!
- Olive oil: Olive oil helps the potatoes get nice and crispy in the oven and makes sure all that seasoning sticks to every bite.
- Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are my go-to for roasting. They get that perfect combo of soft inside and golden, crispy outside—exactly what you want in a roasted potato.

How To Make Oven-Roasted Potatoes
- First things first: preheat your oven to 425 degrees. You want it nice and hot so the potatoes get that crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside.
- Pour the olive oil and dry onion soup mix right into your baking dish and give it a good stir. The seasoning blends into the oil and makes a yummy coating for every potato wedge.
- Toss in your potato wedges and turn them around until every piece is coated. This helps them get super crispy and soak up all that savory flavor.
- Pop the dish in the oven and let the potatoes roast for about an hour. Your kitchen will smell amazing—just like Sunday dinner!
- Give them a stir partway through so they brown evenly and get that irresistible, crunchy finish. It’s the little things that make this recipe feel extra special.

Tips for Making Roasted Potatoes
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Spread the potatoes out on the pan to prevent steaming and encourage browning.
- Toss them halfway through roasting to get that deep, even golden color.
- Choose a potato variety like Yukon Gold or russet for the best texture.
Variations to Try
- Add garlic or garlic powder for a bold, savory boost.
- Sprinkle in herbs like rosemary, thyme, or parsley for extra aroma and flavor.
- Swap olive oil for a mixture of canola oil and butter for a different richness.
- Try adding paprika for extra color.
- Mix in sweet potatoes or red potatoes for a colorful, flavorful combination.
Want your potatoes extra crispy? Try parboiling the cut potatoes for about 10 minutes until the edges soften. Drain them, then give the pot a good shake to rough up the outsides. Roast as usual and you’ll get golden potatoes with the best crunchy finish.
This recipe is all about flavor and those crispy potatoes everyone loves. Now that you know how easy it is, go ahead and print the recipe or save a pin so you can make them whenever you get a craving!
