Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 2 medium Yellow onions
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 100 grams Grated cheese (cheddar or gruyere)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Add the unsalted butter in small cubes and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Place them in a bowl and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10–15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, fresh thyme, ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the dish, trimming any excess and crimping the edges for a decorative finish.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the crust, followed by a layer of caramelized onions and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese.
Pour the prepared cream-and-egg mixture evenly over the pie, ensuring it seeps through the layers.
Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.
Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
