Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Yellow onions
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and thinly slice the onions.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until deeply golden and caramelized. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the onion-cream mixture, ensuring every piece is coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
