Here’s What You’ll Need to make Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes:
1 pound of red potatoes (washed and halved)
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons olive oil
½ packet of dry onion soup mix
2 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
How to Make Your Crispy Oven Roasted Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 450°F.
In a large bowl or zip-top bag, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, dry soup mix, and minced garlic until well coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish or on a baking sheet.
Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender on the inside with crisp edges.
Optional but always welcome: top with fresh herbs like parsley or a little grated cheese when they come out of the oven.
It’s a no-fuss recipe that’s big on flavor and perfect for any day of the week. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just making dinner for four, this side dish delivers every time.
