Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
Seasoning
- 1 packet (1 oz) French onion soup mix
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, Swiss, or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or sheet to prevent sticking.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil and the French onion soup mix until they are evenly coated, ensuring every piece is flavorful.
- Bake Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Roast them in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are tender and have developed a golden, crispy exterior.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the roasted potatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: After removing from the oven, optionally sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve the French Onion Potatoes hot as a delightful side dish.
Notes
- You can use Gruyère, Swiss, or mozzarella cheese depending on your preference for a milder or stronger cheese flavor.
- For extra crispiness, you can leave the potatoes cut smaller or roast a few minutes longer before adding the cheese.
- This dish can be prepared ahead by seasoning the potatoes and refrigerating them for a few hours before roasting.
- Fresh parsley is optional but adds a fresh and bright finish to balance the rich cheese and seasoning.
