French Onion Potato Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
02 - 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
03 - 1 package of frozen diced potatoes, thawed and dried

→ Sauce

04 - 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
05 - 2 minced garlic cloves
06 - 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
07 - 1 cup whole milk
08 - 1 cup chicken stock
09 - 2 tablespoons plain flour

→ Topping

10 - 2 medium onions, sliced into thin rings
11 - Canola or vegetable oil for frying

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up canola or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the sliced onions until they're crisp and golden. Let them drain on paper towels, and then set them aside.
02 - Melt butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Stir in the flour, then slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking. Continue cooking until it thickens.
03 - In a big bowl, stir together the thawed potatoes, the shredded cheese, the sour cream, and the sauce you just made. Mix well until everything’s combined.
04 - Turn your oven to 180°C (350°F) to preheat. Grease a 9x13-inch pan, pour the potato mix in, and spread it out evenly. Bake it uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes.
05 - Take the pan out of the oven, sprinkle the crispy onions on top, and put it back in. Let it bake for another 10 minutes until the top is nice and golden.
06 - Give the dish about 5–10 minutes to cool before you serve it up.

# Notes:

01 - Make sure the frozen potatoes are thoroughly thawed and dried so the dish won’t turn out watery.
02 - You can fry the onions ahead of time and keep them in a sealed container for up to 2 days.
