Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 sweet yellow onions sliced thin (about 25-30 ounces total)
  • 2 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds potatoes (we like red, but russet and Yukon work as well!) sliced thin
  • 1 cup cheese optional (see Notes)
  • fresh parsley for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Combine water, onions, garlic, spices, and salt in a large saute pan (one that has a fitted lid). Cover and simmer everything for 20 minutes until the onions are very soft. Stir the mixture intermittently.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Remove the bay leaf from the onion pan.
  • Blend the onion mixture with the olive oil until smooth. You may need a splash more water, depending on how much evaporated during the cooking process, but it should be fairly thick.
  • In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced potatoes with the onion sauce.
  • Pour the potatoes into a well-oiled 9-inch baking dish. Arrange them to lay flat in the dish as best you can.
  • Top the potatoes with as much or little (or no) cheese as you like.
  • Cover the dish with foil or a fitted lid and bake for 60-70 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Uncover and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden.
  • Cool a bit and serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley!
