In the post, which won Vicki a whole lot of attention when she published it a few years back, the Aussie mum wrote:
“When doing roast spuds, peel, cut and place in a baking dish then …. get French Onion dry soup mix and sprinkle over top of spuds. Then sprinkle your oil over that and bake. It’s the only way I do roast spuds now.”
