I don’t think there’s any better combination when your making a recipe than “easy and delicious!” These oven baked potatoes have five common everyday ingredients ,including the potatoes , that come together to make one heck of side dish. We’re using baking potatoes (Russet potatoes ) for the recipe. They can be peeled or unpeeled, your choice. The recipe uses cheddar cheese, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t switch cheeses in the recipe to change it up a bit from time to time.

Cheese’s I Can Use As A Substitute For Cheddar Cheese In The Recipe:

I love having options when I’m making a recipe. If for some reason you have a family member that’s not crazy about cheddar cheese, try using one of these cheeses as a substitute for the cheddar cheese (using the same amount called for in the recipe) to give the potatoes a slightly different flavor every time you make them.

Try using one of these cheeses in place of the Cheddar:

American Cheese
Mozzarella
Swiss
Pepper Jack
Longhorn
Colby

Let’s gather the Ingredients for this cheesy potato side dish and make it together.

Cheddar Cheese Onion Potatoes Recipe Ingredients:

6 medium baking potatoes, unpeeled and cubed
1/4 cup butter
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
5 green onions, sliced thin
Sour Cream to serve on the side if desired

Cheddar Cheese Onion Potato Recipe Steps

Recipe Step One

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a baking sheet with oil. Place the cubed potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Dot the potatoes with butter and sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the top of the potatoes.

Recipe Step Two

Cover the potatoes with foil and bake in the preheated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil from the pan and stir the potatoes. Place the foil back over the potatoes and bake an additional; 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, remove the foil and sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the potatoes. Serve the potatoes with a side of sour cream if you like.
