Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even bake.
- Prepare the Pan: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick vegetable spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the potatoes and onions are evenly coated. Once mixed, transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Initial Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally to promote even cooking.
- Increase Heat: After the initial bake, raise the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for an additional 15 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are tender and the dish has developed a rich, dark brown color, with the onions caramelizing beautifully.
- Final Texture: By the end of the baking, most of the liquid should evaporate, leaving a slightly saucy consistency—just enough to enhance the flavor without being overly wet.
- Adjusting Consistency: If you notice the dish drying out during baking, feel free to add a splash of water to maintain moisture.
- Seasoning: Given the flavor from the soup mix, additional salt may not be necessary, but you can always season to taste if preferred.
Enjoy your Shelah’s Yummy Potatoes as a savory side that’s sure to impress at any meal!
