These potatoes are creamy and dreamy!!  You know what else is dreamy?  Seeing my 8 year old get to meet her favorite Disney Channel stars!  We had the chance to go to the Tween Stars Live event in our town on Sunday.  Can I just say that I am so glad I bought those tickets for her?  It was a surprise, and she was completely ecstatic to meet these kids!  I posted a few pics on Instagram.  Her favorites were meeting the kids from the show Jessie.  I thought it was pretty fun too.  After all, I’ve had these shows on in my house all the time for the past 4 years.  I’ve kind of watched them grow up too.

And I really know what it feels like to be star struck.  Kind of like the time I met Paula Deen and Ree Drummond.

Those were both very fun moments that I will never forget!  I’m so glad I got to share in that experience with my little girl!

So onto these creamy dreamy potatoes…they are a perfect side dish to go along with all your holiday foods.  The first time I made these, I made Pioneer Woman’s rosemary version.  That was on Christmas Eve last year, and they were so good!  We served them along side a fantastic beef tenderloin.  It was definitely a great dinner!  The other day I made this Cheesy Caramelized Onion version to go with our steaks.  And I’ll probably be taking them with me to Thanksgiving dinner as well 🙂

Cheesy Onion Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 6 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp creole seasoning
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 8 oz. block of cream cheese
  • 1 cup half and half

  1. Ooh these cheesy onion scalloped potatoes look dreamy. I like that they hold their shape when you serve the too. I can’t believe you’ve met Ree Drummond, she was who inspired me and probably a lot of other people to start a blog. Big fan! Also big fan of this dish am definitely going to be making this. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Sammie

  2. What a fun experience for your daughter! These potatoes sound amazing! I love just about any type of potato but adding the caramelized onions…………WOW!!!

    1. Hi Davia! Thanks for catching that! You add it in at the end of browning your onions. I updated the recipe.

    1. You could probably freeze them and put them in the oven for about 45 min. I have not tried freezing this dish yet.
