Creamy French Onion Potatoes
These Creamy French Onion Potatoes have been a staple in my family for as long as I can remember. It’s one of my favorites ever! BUT instead of the usual use of packet soup for flavor, I’ve recreated it using fresh ingredients.
Off topic thought – Cody and I started taking walks about 2 weeks ago. We’ve already seen improvements in our time and distance though. Today we walked 2.34km in 27 minutes. We’re starting slow and are planning on eventually working up to jogging the routes we’ve been doing. We need to be more active!
Anyway, let’s get back to business. Imagine layers of potatoes, onions and cheese- brought together by a flavorful creamy sauce. Yum. By the way, I am totally aware that we need to invest in new baking dishes! We’ve been keeping our eyes peeled every time we go out shopping.
These potatoes go great with anything! I would serve it with our Delicious Citrus Chicken.

Instructions
