Source of Recipe


Sharon Lessinger






List of Ingredients



• 4 Tbsp butter
  
• 3 to 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  
• 8 to 10 large Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced medallion-style
  
• Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  
• 3/4 lb. Emmenthal or Gruyère cheese, grated
  






Instructions



1. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in butter until deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cook slowly to caramelize.
   
   
2. Grease a 9 x 13-inch or large oval baking dish. Layer half of the potato slices in a shingle fashion and season. Top with half of the onions and cheese. Repeat next layer, ending with cheese.
   
   
3. Bake in a preheated 350º F oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Cover loosely with foil if potatoes get too brown before cooking time is finished. Remove from oven and let stand for several minutes. Cut into squares or wedges.
