Ingredients
– 5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
– 3 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 1 tsp dried thyme
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese
– 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. – In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and deeply golden brown.
3. – Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. – In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, heavy cream, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. – Layer half of the potato mixture in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the caramelized onions and half of the Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses.
6. – Repeat the layers with the remaining potato mixture, onions, and cheeses.
7. – Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. – Let the casserole cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use all Gruyère cheese instead of the Parmesan blend. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream mixture. Leftover French Onion Funeral Potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
