French Onion Potatoes- cubed potatoes are baked in beef broth with onion soup mix and fresh onion slices and then coated with mozzarella cheese and swiss cheese. This is one of the most delicious ways to eat potatoes.
The Flavors Of French Onion Soup
A packet of dry onion soup mix and a sliced onion add tons of onion flavor to these potatoes. Melted swiss and mozzarella cheese on top are like the delicious layer of cheese on top of French Onion Soup. The cheese gets a little browned and crispy around the edges. So delicious.
Beef Broth
The potatoes first get baked in a covered casserole dish with melted butter and beef broth until partially soft, about 30 minutes. Then they are baked uncovered for another 30 minutes. This allows some of the beef broth to evaporate and wonderfully concentrates the flavors. They should be stirred once during this time to make sure they cook evenly and don’t burn around the sides of the baking dish.
Add Cheese
The final step is to add shredded swiss cheese and mozzarella cheese on top and return to the oven until the cheese is melted. If you want the cheese to get really golden, you can turn the broiler on for a few minutes.
Type Of Potatoes To Use
Russet potatoes work best for this recipe. Because of their high starch content, they get crispy on the outside.
Recipe Tips
- If you want to add a little spice to this recipe, add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper flakes.
