These French onion potatoes are a cheesy, savory side dish perfect for holidays or any family meal. Made with simple ingredients and easy steps, they are a crowd-pleasing favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Add the dry onion soup mix to the bowl and toss again to ensure the potatoes are well-seasoned.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. A 13×18 inch sheet pan is ideal for even cooking.
  5. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Gruyere cheeses evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can caramelize 1 large yellow onion before adding it to the potatoes in step 2.
  • These potatoes pair well with roasted meats and are a great addition to your holiday meal planning.
  • If you don’t have Yukon Gold potatoes, Russet or red potatoes can be substituted.
