Description

A delicious baked dish featuring layers of Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, and three types of cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
  • 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • Fresh rosemary or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and thyme, and toss to coat.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, sugar, and salt. Cook for 25–30 minutes, stirring often until deeply caramelized. Add garlic in the final 2 minutes.
  3. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer half the potatoes, half the onions, and half the cheese. Repeat layers. Pour broth evenly over the top.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 20–25 more minutes until bubbly and golden.
  5. Rest for 5–10 minutes before garnishing with rosemary or parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.
