Roasted Potatoes, Onions and Garlic


A while ago I bought a box of Lipton's Vegetable Flavored Dip and Soup Mix. I had a coupon, so I bought it, with no idea what I was going to do with it. It's an impulse I've stopped fighting a long time ago! Anyway, needing a side dish for our chicken, I thought that perhaps the soup mix would be a nice little coating for the potatoes, so I threw in some garlic and onions, and it turned out delicious. Even the smell coming from the oven was heavenly, it has a very strong and sharp taste, but not too much that your kids won't like it. You could really make this kind of dish about a million different ways, that's what I love about roasted veggies.

Ingredients

4-5 red potatoes diced
1 onion, cut in half and then slice 1/2 inch thick
4-5 garlic cloves, roughly minced
1 packet preferred soup or dip mix
2-3 teaspoons olive oil
3-4 tablespoons water

Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Combine potatoes, onions, and garlic in 8 x 8 pan. Coat with olive oil and toss with dip mix. Pour water into bottom of pan to help steam potatoes. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until veggies are fork tender. Serve hot.
