Tips for Perfect Onion Soup Potatoes Lipton (Get the Most Flavor from Your Lipton Recipe Now)

Alright, buckle up, because I’m about to spill the beans on my latest kitchen adventure: onion soup potatoes using that Lipton onion soup mix. Sounds kinda weird, right? But trust me, it’s surprisingly good and super easy, perfect for a weeknight when you’re feeling lazy but still want something comforting.

So, it all started when I was staring into my pantry, trying to figure out what to make for dinner. I had a bag of potatoes, and that little box of Lipton onion soup mix caught my eye. I remember my grandma used to make something with it, though I couldn’t recall exactly what. Figured, what the heck, let’s experiment!

Here’s what I did:

• First things first, I peeled and chopped about 2 pounds of potatoes. I went with Yukon Golds because they’re creamy and hold their shape well, but Russets would probably work fine too. Just cut ’em into bite-sized chunks.
• Next, I grabbed my trusty Dutch oven – you could use any oven-safe pot with a lid, really – and tossed the potatoes in there.
• Then came the magic: I sprinkled one packet of Lipton onion soup mix all over the potatoes. I made sure to spread it evenly so every potato got a good coating of that savory goodness.
• After that, I poured in about 2 cups of chicken broth. You want enough liquid to almost cover the potatoes, but not quite. You can also use beef broth if you’re feeling fancy. Water works in a pinch, but the broth adds a depth of flavor that’s worth it.
• Finally, I added a knob of butter – maybe a tablespoon or two – just for extra richness. Don’t judge me!

Now, for the cooking part:

• I brought the whole thing to a simmer on the stovetop, then covered the pot and transferred it to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
• I let it bake for about an hour, or until the potatoes were fork-tender. You gotta check them periodically to make sure they’re not drying out. If they are, just add a little more broth.
• Once the potatoes were cooked through, I took the lid off the pot and let them bake for another 15-20 minutes to get a little bit of color on top. This step is optional, but it adds a nice touch.

And that’s it! Seriously, it’s that simple. When they’re done, the potatoes are tender and flavorful, with a slightly caramelized crust on top. The onion soup mix gives them this amazing savory flavor that’s just so comforting.

I served them as a side dish with some roasted chicken, and it was a total hit. My family devoured them! I even snuck a few extra bites myself.

A few things I learned:

• Don’t be afraid to experiment with the seasonings. Garlic powder, paprika, or even a pinch of red pepper flakes would be great additions.
• If you want to make it even richer, you could stir in some sour cream or cream cheese at the end.
• These potatoes are even better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld together.

So yeah, that’s my onion soup potato saga. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s a crowd-pleaser, and it’s definitely going into my regular rotation. Give it a try – you might just be surprised how good it is!
