Potatoes In The Round
Creamy, savory potatoes baked with onion soup and butter, perfect as a comforting side dish for family dinners or gatherings with rich flavors and tender texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter or oleo, water, and onion soup to create the sauce mixture.
- Place the sliced or chunked potatoes in a baking dish.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of butter and olive oil instead of just butter or oleo. You can also add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the sauce mixture for an aromatic touch. If you don't have onion soup, sauté diced onions and garlic in the butter before adding water for a homemade version. This dish can also be made with sweet potatoes for a twist.
Serving Suggestions
These potatoes make a fantastic side dish for any meal, especially with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. They pair beautifully with the Unusual Vegetable Casserole for a complete vegetarian meal. You can also sprinkle some grated cheese on top before serving for added flavor, or garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until hot.
