Oven Fried Potatoes & Onions

Step 1

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Layer Ingredients: Arrange the potatoes in an even layer in the greased casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle the chopped onion and chopped bacon over the potatoes. Distribute the diced butter throughout the dish. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

Step 3

Bake Covered: Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in and ensure the potatoes cook evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 4

Brown the Potatoes: After 45 minutes, remove the foil and give the potatoes a gentle stir. Switch your oven to the broiler setting. Broil for about 5 minutes, or until they achieve a crispy, golden brown exterior. Stir every minute to promote even browning.

Step 5

Serve Immediately: Once browned and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven. They’re best served hot, offering a perfect blend of crispy edges and soft, flavorful centers.
