🔪How to Make Lipton Onion Soup Potatoes
Season – Dice 4 potatoes into 1-inch pieces (leave the skin on). Toss with olive oil, onion soup mix, garlic powder, and black pepper in a bowl.
Air Fry – Place potatoes in a single layer and cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking every 7-8 minutes for even crispiness.
Serve – Sprinkle with Parmesan & parsley and enjoy with your favorite dish or dipping sauce!
👨🍳Recipe Tips & Variations
- Want extra crispy potatoes? Soak them in cold water for 15-30 minutes before air frying to remove excess starch.
- Prefer a different seasoning? Try ranch seasoning, Cajun spices, or smoked paprika for a twist.
- Making a big batch? Keep cooked potatoes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish air frying the rest.
🍽️What to Serve with These Potatoes
- These air fryer diced potatoes pair well with so many dishes! Try them with:
Fluffy Scrambled Eggs – The ultimate breakfast pairing. - Baked Ranch Chicken Thighs – A simple and delicious dinner.
- Wagyu Ribeye Steak-The perfect hearty combo.
🗄️Storing & Reheating
- Refrigerate – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat – Pop them back in the air fryer at 375°F for a few minutes until crispy again.
- ❌ Not recommended for freezing – While you can freeze them, the texture will change, and they won’t stay crispy after thawing and reheating. If you do freeze them, reheat in the air fryer to restore some crispiness, but they won’t be as crunchy as when freshly made.

Lipton Onion Soup Potatoes
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan, optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) °F for about 3-5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Wash 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch pieces, leaving the skin on. Toss the potatoes in the oil and seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 7-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot and enjoy! (Optional: Garnish with 1 tablespoon fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan for extra flavor!)
Notes
- Potatoes: You’ll need about 1.5 pounds (5 cups) of potatoes. Russet potatoes work best, but Yukon Gold or red potatoes will also do.
- Peeling: No need to peel—keeping the skin on adds texture and nutrients. If you prefer peeled potatoes, go for it!
- Air Fryer Capacity: If making a full batch, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Overfilling will result in steaming rather than crisping.
- Seasoning: Feel free to add fresh herbs or spices! Rosemary, thyme, or smoked paprika complement roasted potatoes beautifully.
- Greasing the Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Avoid aerosol sprays as they can damage the non-stick coating.
