Cheesy Onion Potatoes WILL become a new family favorite if you love your Potatoes ! Only 5 ingredients and it tastes incredibly good as a side dish or a light meatless dinner

I love Potatoes in any form – baked, boiled, in a casserole, on it’s own, mashed and so the list goes on.

Honestly, I think I can live on Potatoes only ! Give me these Cheesy Onion Potatoes and I am in seventh heaven.

Spring Onions are of course another one of my weaknesses and the more added to a dish, the better. Hubby again, would eat Cheese even if it is sprinkled over a sweet dessert !

This recipe gets a fair amount of Cheddar added to it, but he is still after some more. And actually just about always, sprinkle over more Cheddar after I had dished up !

I also just love the fresh, uncooked taste of the Spring Onions as it is only added to the dish after baking.

And it looks so pretty as well!  It is said, as you might know, that we eat with our eyes and that is usually the case.

Now and then though (normally old family favorites) a certain dish would not look appetizing at all.

But once you had it, you know what to expect next time and that is precisely what makes a family favorite … well, a favorite !

I used Unsalted Butter as the Soup added to the Potatoes contain a lot of saltiness already.

However, it is up to you, if you prefer a very salty dish, go for it and use Salted Butter.
