Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.
If using baby potatoes, leave them whole if they are small. Larger baby potatoes should be cut in half. If using Yukon Gold potatoes, cut them into bite-sized chunks of roughly equal size. Uniform pieces ensure even cooking.
Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels.
Step 2: Make the Onion Butter Mixture
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and dry onion soup mix. Stir well until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the butter.
For extra flavor, add black pepper and garlic powder. These ingredients enhance the savory taste without overpowering the onion flavor.
