Caramelized Onion Creamy Potatoes
These rich, buttery potatoes are loaded with deeply caramelized onions and creamy cheese flavor — the kind of comforting side dish that steals the spotlight from the main course.
Ingredients
2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
Optional Additions
Crispy bacon bits
Fresh parsley
A pinch of smoked paprika
Extra cheese on top
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onions and cook slowly for 25–30 minutes, stirring often, until deeply golden and caramelized. Add garlic during the last minute.
In a bowl, combine heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish. Top with half the caramelized onions and some cheese. Repeat layers.
Pour cream mixture evenly over the potatoes. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Tips for Success
Slice potatoes evenly for consistent cooking.
Low and slow caramelization gives the onions their incredible flavor.
Gruyère gives a steakhouse-style richness, but cheddar also works well.
For extra crispiness, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
