This is my hubby’s most popular and most requested Potato side dish recipe.

Only three ingredients needed to make this creamy, very tasty potato bake ! Brown Onion Potatoes have been a family favorite for decades

I usually parboil the peeled, whole potatoes in salt water for 8 minutes in my pressure cooker. This is about half cooked when I transfer the potatoes to the oven.

You can parboil the Potatoes way ahead of time and only finish the dish before dinner. A quick mix and layering, bake and your side dish is ready !

The versatility of these Brown Onion Potatoes are also just about endless. Besides serving as a side dish (with just about ANY meal), you can also serve the Potatoes as a light dinner.

However, if serving as a light dinner (or leftovers for lunch), add some cooked Bacon, Ham or any other kind of leftover meat.

But, I have to mention, when hubby and I are alone for dinner, we might just have a whole bowl of the Brown Onion Potatoes for dinner ! (as is – no additional meats added).

No kidding, this dish is addicting and yes, we sure can finish off a whole batch between the two of us.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large Potatoes peeled
  • 1 packet Brown Onion Soup Powder see note in post
  • 1 cup Fresh Cream whipping cream/double cream
  • Parsley chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – Spray a 20 x 30 cm ( 9 x 13 inch ) oven dish with cooking oil
  • Parboil the potatoes (whole) until half cooked in salt water
  • Combine the Brown Onion Soup powder with the Fresh Cream
  • Drain the Potatoes, slice into 5-7 mm slices and arrange half in one single layer in the prepared oven dish (it can overlap a little)
  • Pour half of the cream mixture over the potato layer – repeat with another potato layer, followed with the remaining cream mixture
  • Bake 45 – 60 minutes, uncovered, until soft

Notes

  • Parboil time based on using a pressure cooker
  • Soup powder packet size - 50 grams / 2 ounces
  • You can also use a square baking dish 25 cm ( 10 inch square ) - takes about 10 minutes longer in the oven
  • The cream will thicken on standing after baking - best to serve immediately
