Yummy Scalloped Potatoes

(even the onion-haters will eat them)

 

 

 

The list:

 

6-7 medium russet potatoes

2 1/2 cups of heavy cream

1 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)

3 cups of grated gruyere cheese

salt

pepper

olive oil

butter

 

 

The directions:

 

Pre heat your oven to 400*.  In a small pan, sauté your yellow onion in a little butter and olive oil.  Then, set aside.  Wash, peel and thinly slice your potatoes.  Place them in a large bowl with 1 cup of the heavy cream, the sautéed onion and 2 cups of the grated gruyere cheese.  Toss ingredients to combine well (I use my hands) and add generously salt and pepper.  Transfer to a baking dish and push the potatoes down with your hands so, they are layered nicely. Pour the other 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream over the potatoes. I usually add a little more salt to the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.  Put them in the oven for about 60 minutes. Test the tenderness of the potatoes with a fork.  If they are soft, remove and let set about 10 minutes before serving.

 

* For thicker stacked potatoes, use a 9 x 13 baking dish.

** For thinner stacked potatoes, use a 12 x 15 baking dish.

 

 

Taste and enjoy!
