Transform ordinary potatoes into an extraordinary side dish with this irresistible French Onion Potatoes Recipe. Combining the savory flavors of French onion soup with perfectly roasted potatoes and melted cheese, this dish brings comfort food to a whole new level.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes (halved or quartered)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 packet (1 oz) French onion soup mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan

    2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a large baking sheet or 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2: Prep the Potatoes

    3. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra nutrition and texture. Cut baby potatoes in half, or quarter larger Yukon gold potatoes into uniform pieces about 1-2 inches in size. This ensures even cooking throughout.

  3. Step 3: Season the Potatoes

    4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the French onion soup mix and garlic powder over the potatoes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until every piece is well-coated with the seasoning blend.

  4. Step 4: Initial Roasting

    5. Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, cut-side down for maximum browning. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and golden brown on the bottom.

  5. Step 5: Add the Cheese

    6. Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

  6. Step 6: Garnish and Serve

    7. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • When selecting your French onion soup mix, read the ingredients list if you have dietary restrictions. Some brands contain MSG or gluten, while others offer organic or reduced-sodium options.
  • The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of your potato pieces and your oven’s performance. Start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark – the potatoes should be easily pierced with a fork and golden brown.
  • This recipe doubles easily for larger gatherings. Just use additional baking sheets and rotate their positions halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • For meal prep, you can cut and season the potatoes up to 24 hours in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator, then proceed with roasting when ready to serve.
