Air Fryer Onion Potatoes (Lipton Onion Soup Mix) Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 medium potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work well), peeled (optional) and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix (about 1 oz or 28g)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
- ¼ tsp black pepper (adjust to taste)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix over the potatoes and toss until they are well-coated with the seasoning. If using garlic powder and pepper, add them to the mix as well and toss again.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes. If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat function, simply let it run at the cooking temperature for a few minutes.
4. Air Fry the Potatoes
Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
5. Cook
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The cooking time may vary based on the size of the potato cubes and your air fryer model.
6. Serve
Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
