Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
  • Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
  • Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter.
  • Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
  • Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
  • Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

Potato Casserole With Bacon and Caramelized Onion(ATK) image

Do not rinse or soak the potatoes, as this will wash away their starch, which is essential to the dish. A mandoline makes slicing the potatoes much easier. For the proper texture, make sure to let the casserole stand 20 minutes before serving.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 Casserole, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 slices bacon, thick-cut cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, halved and sliced thin
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups beef broth
3 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
  • 2. Cook bacon in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until crisp, 10 to 13 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot. Return pot to medium heat and add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes, adjusting heat and adding water 1 tablespoon at a time if onion or bottom of pot becomes too dark. Transfer onion to large bowl; add bacon, thyme, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add broths to now-empty saucepan and bring to simmer over medium-high heat, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits.
  • 3. Slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to bowl with onion mixture and toss to combine. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Firmly press down on mixture to compress into even layer. Carefully pour hot broth over top of potatoes. Dot surface evenly with butter.
  • 4. Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and golden brown on edges and most of liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 55 minutes. Transfer to wire rack and let stand for 20 minutes to fully absorb broth before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will help to prevent the onions from overcrowding and steaming instead of caramelizing.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat: This will allow them to caramelize slowly and evenly, without burning.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing onions takes time, so don't rush the process. It will take about 30 minutes for the onions to become golden brown and sweet.
  • Use a variety of potatoes: This will give the casserole a more complex flavor and texture. Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and russet potatoes all work well.
  • Don't overmix the casserole: This will make it dense and heavy. Just stir the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This caramelized onion and potato breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or holiday breakfast. The sweet and savory flavors of the caramelized onions and potatoes are perfectly complemented by the creamy cheese sauce and crunchy breadcrumb topping. This casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
