Onion Soup Mix Oven Roasted Potatoes

Filed Under: Appetizer Recipes, BLOG, Dinner Recipes, Front Page Slider, Recipes Tagged With: , , , ,

In my home, both my husband and I love potatoes in any shape, way or form.  I grew up in a home where potatoes were king, so did my husband.  Mashed, baked, grilled, even fried (my dad made a mean batch of fried potato chips), we ate potatoes cooked in all different ways.  We especially ate loved eating oven roasted potatoes

Over the course of our marriage, we have tried a few different recipes with potatoes.  But we have had trouble finding a go to potato recipe though.

Oven Roasted Potatoes Ingredients

Recently however, my husband found a recipe online for oven roasted potatoes that were mixed and cooked with onion soup mix.  Seriously this is such an easy, inexpensive and even fast recipe, too.

The first time, we tried it a few weeks ago, we knew we were hooked.  It is just that tasty. Plus it’s easy to make, too.

We adapted the recipe however slicing the potatoes instead of halving. Also, cooking at a lower oven temperature and even coating the pan with a bit of cooking spray.

Because even with the oil mixed in, the potatoes tend to stick if you don’t use cooking spray.

Also, make sure to stir them on the cookie sheet a few times during the 20 minute cook time, because this will definitely minimize the oven roasted potatoes from sticking to the sheet.

I also am fortunate enough to have a husband, who is a huge meat and potato fan.  Recently I read an article, on my friend, Diane’s blog over at Recipes for Our Daily Bread.  The recipe was for Deli Roast Beef with Brown Gravy.

I tried these potatoes the last time I made them now with this roast beef recipe and it truly was the perfect meal.

So, if you too are a meat and potato lover, you need to try this oven roasted potato recipe and also Diane’s with it, because together they are just heavenly.

    Your potatoes look great! I'm going to try these tonight as today is cheat on my low carb diet day 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      So happy you are going to try these Susan and definitely use the cooking spray and just stir a few times, because they can stick if you don't (found that out the first time I made them). But let me know what you think!! 🙂

      Diane, it was truly my pleasure to mention you (so happy we are friends) here and seriously love your blog and recipes, too. So, I need to turn on my readers to the fact that your blog is amazing! And I love onion soup mix, too and couldn't agree more about being able to use it with so many different foods and recipes!!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Kevin found them online and we tried them in the last month or so. But seriously don't know how I didn't find these sooner, but just happy we did. So a go to recipe now for sure and glad you make them, too!! 🙂

  8. dianeroark says

    I just pinned these potatoes to several of my group boards. Everyone needs an Easy, Delicious Potato recipe.

    Have a great day!

      Thank you so much Diane for pinning for me and I know an easy potato recipe seriously never goes out of style (at least around here). Have a great day now, too!! 🙂

    Potatoes are one of the few side dishes both my kids love – I'll have to give this recipe a try. Thanks, Janine!

    Very cool, and since we grow our own potatoes, even cooler. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe, one I will definitely try.

    Have a great day Janine!

    • Janine Huldie says

      My pleasure Bill and same here, totally grew up on potatoes, so any way I can make them I am truly happy. So, I knew I had to share. Enjoy your day now, too!! 🙂

    I have a real obsession with potatoes. They're pretty much my favorite non-sweets food. They are king in my house and they were growing up because my dad shares that obsession.
    And you know what's weird? I don't like onions. At all. In any form. Yet I'm fine with onion soup mix for dips, soups, etc. And I love sour cream and onion potato chips!
    My recent post Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

    • Janine Huldie says

      That is funny, because I totally get my potato addiction from my dad, too. But I do like onions (also from my dad). And French Onion Dip is my favorite. So these two put together are like a piece of heaven for me!! 🙂

  13. Alecia says

    Looks yummy! I have done something similar with frozen french fries. You use melted butter and pour that over frozen french fries then sprinkle the Onion Soup Mix on them and mix around – bake. I will have to try it with red potatoes as I love using red potatoes for almost everything – lower carbs than other types of potatoes.

      Kristi, I am not sure what I am making for dinner tonight right now. So don't feel bad, it could very well be chicken nuggets for the kids and soup for Kevin and I. So trust me, I wish I could make meals like this every night, but sometimes not even in the cards here either!

  16. dishofdailylife says

    Those look easy and so good! Onion soup mix is awesome! I used to use it a ton and I never seem to anymore! How did I get so far behind on my blog commenting is what I want to know! I can't keep up with you Janine!! I promise I haven't been skipping out on you, my friend!

      Michelle, seriously no worries. I had Emma home yesterday sick from pre-school and was up again late last night trying to catch up and totally know the feeling. Just so glad we are friends and happy when you can stop by!!! 🙂

  20. spiritedlife says

    This looks delicious and super easy! I'm really going to start cooking some things when I get back on my feet. I'll have to add this to my repetoire.
    My recent post 4G is here!

    • Janine Huldie says

      April, hope you are feeling well and have been thinking of you. Huge congrats again my friend and if you do try them when you are back on your feet, hope you enjoy them!! 🙂

  23. gigigirl says

    This looks great! I'll try the potatoes in FL for Aunt Anita and Uncle Sonny…..I think it will be a hit! Yum! Love….xxoo Hope Emma is better and back to normal activities.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Hope you do Aunt Gloria and that you all do enjoy. Emma seems to be on the mend. She still has a cough, but no more fever and went back to school today, too!! 🙂 xoxo!!

  24. ssgannett says

    Ooh! These look delicious! We are definitely a meat and taters family. I will definitely have to try these! Thanks so much for sharing!

  26. lsdavidson says

    Believe it or not, I have a non potato family. But I love them. I try to make them and occasionally have a hit – this looks like it has lots of potential!!
    My recent post Quote of the Week

    • Janine Huldie says

      Being that Kevin is Irish, I truly don't know what a non-potato family looks like, but the carbs alone that part may definitely be nice. But still hope somehow you can try and if you do hope you enjoy the, Leah!! 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      I know I totally envy you that you have the freezer part down pat and need to try that now more often. But I know this recipe is actually really just that good and will admit, Kevin found this one and is responsible for us trying it. But I was so happy to share after I found out it was indeed a winner 🙂

  29. Kenya G. Johnson says

    Wow that really does look good. I am going to pin it. Now I have to think of something I could serve it with. I clicked over the the beef recipe but that didn't look so easy – too much trouble for something I don't eat.
    My recent post Wordless Wednesday on Me Time

    • Janine Huldie says

      Oh let me know what you serve it with. And I was just happy to share and give an option of what maybe one could make with it. I personally just made steak on the grill with it and now in the oven (broiled), but I think so much can be served with this one for sure!! 🙂

  32. Sandy Ramsey says

    Easy and delicious….perfect! Pinning this for later and will definitely be trying it! Thanks!

  36. Amy P says

    This sounds like a perfect little meal addition. Diane, has a great site. Man, this has made me hungry for beef stew and it is 9 am. Slicing would cook much faster than halving or cubing, I am going to slice mine the next time I make it. Thanks for sharing at Inspiration in Progress, Janine! Hope you are having a great weekend.
