Do you have recipes that when you make them and take to an event, you are ALWAYS asked for the recipe? I have a few that it’s guaranteed that if I bring it, I will be asked for the recipe. Lipton Onion Potatoes is one of those recipes.
I love potatoes and anything that has potatoes in it. There are plenty of ways in which you can come up with a potato recipe. I enjoy mine while baked, boiled, mashed, deep-fried, like french fries and crisps. In my house, there are always potatoes that are ready for snacking whenever hunger comes knocking. What do you expect when you are a full-fledged foodie! Any foodie in the house that can relate?
To be a foodie means you also know how to prepare a couple of recipes. Food brings joy and unites people. My grandkids love it when they come over and find there’s lots of food to be shared amongst each other. You should see the smiles plastered on their faces in such moments. The first thing they ask is whether there’s a potato recipe from the food prepared. And they devour them like no one’s business.
More juice!
I love easy-to-work-with recipes and simple meals that can be taken as either appetizers or main course meals. With potatoes, this is the case as you can play around with them. Potato soup makes a good appetizer, and baked potatoes with cheese make an ooey-gooey main course. And even surprisingly enough, potatoes can be a dessert option. Isn’t this just amazing? To know that I can have a full course meal from one main ingredient!
Another of my favorite recipes is Lipton onion potatoes. You have me to take you through this interesting journey of preparing our recipe. Hop on and be sure to have lots of fun while we are at it.
Savoury Lipton Onion Potatoes Recipe
Every once in a while, I will ask someone for their recipe and they are reluctant to share because it’s a family recipe or they want to keep the recipe close to their chest so that no one else can make something that scrumdiddlyumptious.
I get that feeling at times. The need to guard what I am attached to. It is a selfish way of living. But, well, I think we all have that territorial or rather possessive bone in us.
Even with that, I am always happy to share my recipes. However, I am somewhat reluctant to share this when someone asks because it’s so, so easy!
I bet you ain’t ready for this!
Ingredients You Need For This Ooey-Goey Recipe
Onions add a vibe to the taste and outlook of a meal. It is the secret ingredient to having a wonderful meal. Or at least getting close to having one. And what better way than to prepare them with potatoes! Sounds magically good so imagine tasting it! Heavenly is an understatement. I live for such simple and delicious meals.
For our recipe, the ingredients are super simple and easy to come across. Hopefully, for this recipe, you’ll have all you need at your home so that you won’t need to step out to get any.
The supplies for the recipe are:
- About 6-8 medium potatoes – You don’t need many potatoes unless you have lots of guests to host. So these 6-8 (at most) medium-sized potatoes will work perfectly.
- Two envelopes of Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- Butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
If you love your food extra spicy, you can add more spices of your choice to the list above. But be sure to do it in moderation. We still want to taste the potatoes and onions combo in the meal.
This is literally the simplest list of ingredients I have ever come across while preparing a recipe. I also love that you can get the ingredients easily from the nearest grocery store.
Step by Step Preparation of Lipton Onion Potatoes
Now that our supplies are ready, we can dive into the interesting phase of our activity. I am super exhilarated and can’t wait to have a bite of what we prepare. So without wasting any time, shall we start?
- First, we work on the potatoes. Wash your potatoes thoroughly. Then thinly slice them with the skin on. A chopping board and a good sharp knife are efficient enough to get the work done. Most importantly, chop the potatoes in circular bits, as the image below indicates.
- Once chopped in the circular bits, lay them in a 9×13 pan or 2-quart casserole dish. If in a pan, make sure the pan has been lined with cooking oil.
- Thirdly, melt 2 cubes of butter (1 cup) in a microwave-safe dish.
- Take two envelopes of Lipton’s Onion Soup and pour them into your melted butter. Stir them until they are well mixed.
- Next step, pour the onion butter mixture over your sliced potatoes that are arranged on a baking sheet. They shouldn’t be crowded, so if you need to, be sure to use two sheets. Crowding the potatoes will be bad for our recipe as the potatoes will steam and get mushy. And we want to get it right all through. So more sheets will be appreciated.
- When all is ready, cover with aluminum foil and bake them at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until soft when pricked with a fork. You also need to check them as they bake. So, flip once with a sturdy spatula halfway through the baking time, to ensure both sides have cooked. A sturdy spatula will come in handy in the event the potatoes stick to the bottom of the pan. You’ll need to scrape them off so the potatoes and skins stay intact.
- At this point, your meal should be fully cooked. You can serve it with sour cream and chives or good old ketchup.
When your potatoes come out they should look like this:
Aren’t these so pleasing to look at? I am salivating just from a simple glance. They sure look so crispy and super delicious. I mean! Wow!
Lipton Onion Potatoes are super amazing. I guarantee that you will be asked for the recipe, and I also guarantee that there won’t be any left by the end of dinner! You can never have enough Lipton onion potatoes for sure. At least not me.
Dishes You Can Serve With Our Lipton Onions Potatoes
Our prepared meal is an easy side dish recipe that you can serve with a couple of meals. Here are such meals from the South Your Mouth blog that you can enjoy with the Lipton onions potatoes.
- Crockpot pulled pork – Well-cooked and spiced pork will make the perfect match for our recipe.
- Sticky chicken – Have you ever gone wrong with chicken? Perfect choice for accompaniment for our Lipton recipe.
- Pork steak – A combo of this and Lipton onion potatoes is heavenly, to say the least. I won’t even talk much about it coz girl! I can’t describe enough the magic created here.
- Barbequed steak – I love steak. One that is fried well and has thick soup to it. Whenever I have my Lipton recipe it is always part of the dishes cooked.
- Ribs – This would make a perfect choice for the Lipton Onion Potatoes. Perfectly baked ribs glazed with some vegetables.
I get my whole table set for this moment and any other dish that would go well with the recipe is included. My grandkids eat the food without waiting for it to be set. They never leave my side in the kitchen during the preparation of the meal. I am not complaining though. Because they are the best company I could ask for. Especially, when doing what I love. Cooking.
When you have a big party you can prepare the meal beforehand, to have an easy time with the crowd. The good thing is, this meal can be stored and warmed up later upon guest arrival. Your parties will never be the same. Nor will your family moments, once this is added to your recipe list.
It’s a Wrap!
We can’t wait to hear from you on how your experience was on trying this recipe! We are certain your family will be grateful. More so your grandkids. You can bond over the meal, as you lick your fingers. We are so excited for you and wish you the best as you try out the recipe.
It’s been so much fun sharing our recipe with you. Be sure to leave us a comment down in the comments section. We are zealous in waiting to celebrate with you the joyous moment you’ll experience. So break a leg!

What are ‘2 cubes of butter’ in terms of tablespoons/sticks/whatever?
Hi Erin! Sorry for the confusion. Two cubes are two sticks and equal one cup. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy this if you make it. It’s a keeper! Deb
Wow Debbie, I’ve never seen these before. They look great! Looks like a recipe to take to my next church event!
Oh, by the way, they looked so good that I linked to this recipe in my daily newsletter as one of my daily top web picks!
Can’t wait to make these! How many potatoes do you use for this recipe? Thanks
How many potatoes are used in this recipe and do you prepare the soup or mix it in dry?
Hi Tara! The potatoes all depend on how big they are. For this recipe I used the ginormous ones that I bought at Costco and it took five. If you use smaller potatoes it may take a few more. And you just use the mix dry with the melted butter. Hope that helps and if you make this, we’d love to hear how it turned out! Deb
I have this recipe twice in the past two weeks and everyone loves it. It is also very simple to make.
Hi Mat! I’m so glad to hear that this turned out for you! It seriously is one of our family’s staples for dinner. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your results! Deb
I also make these but I do not cover them so the top is all crispy and the bottom is all soft and Delicious. 🙂
Candice! What a great idea. I will have to try that next time. Thanks for the heads up! Deb
I’m glad you posted a picture. I would have laid them flat instead of staggering them like you did.
Hi Georgia! Ah! That’s a good heads up. I think I’ll go and revise the recipe. Thank so much for stopping by! Deb
I have made these, instead of butter i use olive oil about 1/2 a cup.
Stella! I will have to try the olive oil for sure. Thanks for stopping by! Deb
I came upon this recipe when looking to see if I could make the standard Lipton roasted potatoes at a different temperature. After seeing your recipe I quickly changed my Easter menu to include these potatoes! They were fabulous! You can get many servings in a 9×13 pan staggering the potatoes the way you do. I think I will try uncovering them halfway thru the cooking time next time I make them to play with the crispiness although they were delicious just the way your recipe is written. Thanks so much for sharing
Hi Sally! Oh, I am SO glad that they turned out for you and that you like them. They are a staple with my family and we rarely have any left! Thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by. Deb – The Oldest
Have you ever tried these in a crock pot?
Hi Gknee, I have to say that I have never thought of making this in the crock pot but in thinking about it, I think it would work! You’re a genius! If you make it in your crockpot, I’d love to know how it turned out! Deb – The Oldest
I love Lipton Onion Potatoes! They are one of my favorite side dishes. I usually cube the potatoes and fry them up in a pan, but I’m going to have to try slicing and cooking them in the oven next time.
Sam, I promise you won’t be disappointed! Let me know how they turned out! Deb – The Oldest Sister
I must say this recipe is so amazing. Thank you for sharing it. Quick, inexpensive and reliable. Could not ask for more. Absolutely delivers as promised.
Melissa, thanks so much for trying it out and letting us know. Don’t you just love those recipes that are solid, tried and true? It’s definitely a family favorite of ours! Thanks for your kind comment. Deb – The Oldest Sister

There are Onion Soup Mix recipes online if you can’t find Lipton in your area. It’s really easy to make your own!!
Shelly…what a great idea! I think I am going to try making my own mix. Thanks for sharing! Deb – The Oldest Sister
I found this on Pinterest and wanted to come back and say I made them last night for dinner with my parents~I ended up also using 5 large baking potatoes.Followed the directions exactly and everyone RAVED….my parents went back twice for more(ok~ok~so did I)These will most definitely be making a repeat performance at our house~Thanks so much for sharing…a new family favorite!
Hi Trudy! {{squealing with delight}} I am SO glad that you liked them. They have been a family favorite of ours for years. And don’t worry….I won’t tell anyone that you went back for seconds…or thirds….!! Thanks so much for your kind comment. Deb – The Oldest Sister
Everyone loves these, you’re right! For a lower-fat solution, tonight I sliced the potatoes, put them in the dish, then just squirted them with olive oil spray and topped with the Lipton packet. ALMOST as good 🙂
Hi Jac! Sure glad you liked it. Am gonna try the olive oil spray myself! Deb – The Oldest Sister
Has anyone tried this recipe with other vegetables? I have some squash and zucchini i need to use and I’m thinking about adding slices of then along with the potatoes?
Hi Chelsy! mmm….I haven’t heard of anyone trying it with other vegetables but I think it would work out great and sounds deee-licious! Deb – The Oldest Sister
I am going to try these with cheddar cheese on top.
Hi Pete! Cheese improves just about everything in my opinion! Let me know how they turn out! Deb – The Oldest Sister
Hi Deb! About how many would you say this serves? I have a family gathering coming up and wanted to try this, but wondering if I should double. Thanks!
Hi Caitlin! I would say that it serves around six to eight. I recently made this again and had 7 people for dinner and there were NO leftovers! Hope you like it! Deb – The Oldest Sister
Thanks!!
We do a form of this as well, only I toss cubed potatoes with olive oil and then add the dry mix and mix all together then package into foil (as flat as you can) and put out on the grill or can cook in a 9×13 in the oven as well. I love this on the grill because there are always crunchy ones where it is hottest!
Oh. My. Word! What a great idea to grill! I am DEFINITELY going to try this for sure! Deb – The Oldest Sister
Believe it or not..I accidently stumbled upon this recipe while searching for Monkey Butter. I am definitely making these to take to my family’s Thanksgiving dinner. I mean, you just can’t go wrong with potatoes in the first place..and here in the South Lipton’s is a food group so you REALLY can’t go wrong putting the 2 together. And let’s not forget the butter!! Shoot!….Honey Hush! LOL
Thanks so much for sharing and I will let you know if it is grandchild approved…I will have 3 of my 5 at my Mom’s that day.
Happy Holidays! -Tina P….aka: Nannie
Tina! You are my newest favorite person! Thanks so much for your awesome comment! Seriously, this is one of our family fav’s! My two grandsons aren’t really old enough to try these but I hope that yours like it! I promise that the adults will! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and let me know how it turns out! Deb – The Oldest Sister
My family loved these potatoes! I made a half recipe in an 8 x 8 pan, with only 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. It worked well to cover the pan for the first half of the baking time, as the recipe calls for, and then uncover the pan for the remainder of the time to crispen the tops of the potatoes. Thank you for an incredibly easy and delicious recipe.
Jocelyn…..so glad you liked it! Next time I make these I too am going to remove my cover to crispen the potatoes. Yum! Deb – The Oldest Sister
ON the back of the lipton box they have a recipe almost like this. They want you to cube the potatoes (bigger than an inch chunks) Then you mix with oil and mix and toss into a pan. Cook for it seems like forever and they turn out delish. Everyone always wants me to make them. But I will def have to try this recipe. It sounds just as good if not better! I think I just found another website to follow. 🙂
I PROMISE that you won’t be disappointed!!! Deb :o}
I have made this and it is delicious. I only use one stick of butter though. Two was way to much the first time I made it.
Hi Sue! Yes it does feed a crowd but am glad to hear that you liked it! Deb – The Oldest Sister
Looks simple & yummy, I will have to make my own onion mix though because I am allergic to the Lipton soup mix, can’t have anything with msg, or preservatives. It will be easy & delicious. Thank you. I ambalways looking for a simple potato casserole recipe
Nancy, I’m sure that your own onion mix will be fine and that you will love this dish! Deb
I’m sorry but….. it was way too greasy and way too salty. I did half of the above and we couldn’t even give the leftovers to the dog. It was a good concept and good flavor BUT I’d cut the butter and the soup mix in half, or less.
Sorry to be a party pooper….
No worries! Not everyone likes every recipe….definitely to each his own. Thanks so much for stopping by though! Deb
This sounds wonderful, however, I would not recommend this if you have any heart trouble. I have had two major attacks and the sodium in this might prove to be too much for some.
Absolutely. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own health. I myself am a breast cancer survivor and also watch what I eat. Hope you are happy and healthy now!
This looks so good! I will make it Sunday for after church lunch! I am sharing this link recipe on my page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Country-Cooking/102907816538527?ref=hl
Hi Emarie! Thanks so much for the share! This is one of our LONG time family favorites. Some people say it is too salty for them but we gobble it right up!
My wife has always made something similar to this called Potatos Anna in a round oven safe skillet. She gets good baking potatoes aof roughly the same size, washes and peels them well, layers them in a rosette pattern from the outside in, then layers thinly sliced onions and pours a little clarified butter over each layer and then begins again, until the skillet is layered full. Then she lays a very heavy oven safe dish on top to weigh down the potatoes into a crisp pie. I would bet that your Lipton Onion Soup Mix Potatoes would work well in the same fashion and we could leave out the thin sliced onions, making this a much easier side dish to prepare. it has all the same flavors. Litpon Onion Soup Mix Powder comes in both Beef and Beffy Mushroom flavors now so that would add a little flare to the Rosette Potatoes Anna she makes. I can’t wait to ask her to try this. When the Potatoes Anna comes out of the oven, it’s all crispy on the bottom but tender and buttery in the middle. You cut it in wedges just like a pie. It would make a great accompiment to an Eye-Round Roast, Yummy! If I can get her to make it, I;ll try and take a photo. If she’s too busy to make the Pie Rosette, we’ll try your stacked Ratatouille-type treament. Such great ideas for every day food. Thanks.
Oh my, your description of Rosette Potatoes Anna is making my mouth water! I think the Lipton Onion flavor would make a great addition! Deb :o}
