Cheesy Onion Potatoes

Recipe #299756 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: KITTENCAL

If you are not a garlic-lover then omit the garlic powder, since the onion soup mix is salty I advise not to add in any extra salt. --- this makes a huge amount, but don't worry there won't be any leftovers! --- make certain to let the dry onion soup mixture sit in the hot melted butter for 30 minutes this will allow the onion flakes to soften, a few more or less potatoes will not matter — these may also be made in a large greased heavy foil pan and cooked on the outdoor grill ---all amounts may be adjusted to suit taste

Ingredients

  • 10 medium potato (peeled or unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (you could use a little less)
  • 1 1/2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages lipton dry onion soup mix

  • large green onion, chopped
  • Directions

    1. 1
      If you are using unpeeled potatoes make certain to wash and scub the skin, and if you are slicing the potatoes ahead of time and soaking in water the potatoes must be dryed with a paper towel before using in this recipe.
    2. 2
      Place the HOT melted butter in a bowl; add in garlic powder and dry onion soup; mix to combine and allow to sit for about 30 minutes to soften the onion flakes (you may leave it sit for more time if desired) stir occasionally.
    3. 3
      Slice the potatoes into quarters, then place in a large roasting pan; sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
    4. 4
      Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes; toss to coat (I use my hands for this).
    5. 5
      Set oven to 400 degrees F.
    6. 6
      Set oven rack to bottom position.
    7. 7
      Cover the pan with foil and bake 30 minutes (you could bake the potatoes uncovered for the full time if desired) .
    8. 8
      Remove and stir the potatoes.
    9. 9
      Place back in the oven and bake UNCOVERED for another 20-30 minutes or until just fork tender, removing and stirring another time while cooking, do not overcook the potatoes.
    10. 10
      Sprinkle with cheese and green onions over the hot potatoes.
