Oven Fried Potatoes and Onions
This classic comfort food combines tender red potatoes, savory onions, and crispy bacon, all baked to perfection and finished with a golden, buttery crust. Ideal as a side dish for any meal, it’s easy to prepare and bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds red potatoes thinly sliced or cubed
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1/2 cup butter diced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Evenly distribute the thinly sliced or cubed red potatoes in the greased casserole dish. Arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.
- Evenly scatter the finely chopped onions and chopped bacon over the potatoes for added flavor and texture.
- Dot the diced butter evenly over the potato mixture to infuse richness and promote crispy edges.
- Sprinkle the potato mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount based on the bacon’s saltiness.
- Tightly cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil to trap moisture. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, ensuring the potatoes become tender.
- After baking, carefully remove the foil and stir the potatoes gently. Broil for about 5 minutes, stirring every minute for even browning and crispiness.
- Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove the dish from the oven and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
For added flavor, sprinkle shredded cheese or chopped fresh herbs over the dish before serving. This versatile side pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
