👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If they are larger than bite-size, cut them in half so they cook evenly. - Make the flavor mixture:
Melt the butter in a small bowl. Add the onion soup mix and stir until everything is evenly combined. - Coat the potatoes:
Place the potatoes in a large bowl and pour the butter mixture over them. Toss thoroughly until every potato is coated. - Arrange for roasting:
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Avoid overcrowding them so they can brown properly. - Roast:
Bake in a preheated 425°F (220°C) oven for approximately 30–40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through. - Check for doneness:
The potatoes should be golden on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. - Finish and serve:
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. 🥔🌿
