Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 large Yellow onions
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moon shapes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, stir to coat, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Grease a baking dish (9x13 inches works well) with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Layer half of the potato slices evenly in the dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Spread half of the caramelized onions over the potatoes, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, seasonings, onions, and cheddar cheese.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the heavy cream over low heat until just warm. Pour evenly over the layered potatoes and cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
