Onion Roasted Potatoes

These are quick and easy to make for a family dinner or for company.  I always keep some envelopes of onion soup mix on hand just for this recipe.

2 pounds red potatoes, cut in half
1 envelope onion soup mix
1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Put all ingredients into a plastic bag (such as Ziploc).  Close bag and shake until potatoes are evenly coated.  Empty potatoes into a shallow baking pan.  Bake, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until potatoes are browned.  Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
