Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. If you're short on time, you can use pre-made grilled onions or onion powder for added flavor. To enhance the dish, try adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley. Red potatoes are ideal for this recipe due to their waxy texture, but Yukon golds can also work well.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Lillie's Onion Potatoes as a warm side dish alongside grilled meats or barbecued meals, such as Rose'S Barbecue Beef. They also pair wonderfully with salads like Tangy Bean Salad(Black-Eyed Pea) or a fresh green salad. For a complete meal, consider serving with cornbread or a slice of Mix Bread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and heat in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. For a crispy option, reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
