Description

Delight in French Onion Potatoes: the ultimate comfort side dish, blending cheesy goodness with tender potatoes for a memorable meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 10-oz can French onion soup: Adds depth and a rich flavor base.
  • 1 1-oz envelope dry onion soup mix: Enhances the oniony taste and adds seasoning.
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted: Provides richness and helps to bind the ingredients.
  • 2.5 lbs russet potatoes: The foundation of the dish, offering texture and substance.
  • 2 cups shredded gruyere cheese: Melts beautifully, adding a creamy, nutty flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by heating your oven to 375 degrees, setting the stage for baking.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the condensed soup, dry soup mix, and melted butter thoroughly.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, then toss them in the soup mixture to coat evenly.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Transfer the coated potatoes into a 13×9 baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become tender.
  6. Continue Baking Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
  7. Add Cheese and Rest: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the cooked potatoes, cover again, and let it rest, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, consider using a reduced-fat butter alternative and a lower-fat cheese option.
  • Enhance the dish’s flavor profile by adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or parsley before serving.
  • If you prefer a bit of crunch, a brief broil after the cheese has melted can add a delightful texture.
