UPSIDE DOWN POTATO & ONION TART
The onions caramelize while the potatoes are cooking and when you turn them out of the pan they are gorgeous on the plate. The flavor combination is really heavenly. It's a great side dish or accompaniment for steak and roasts. From Hizzoner's Deli. Enjoy!

- Place the potato, oil, cheeses, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Top the onion with the potato mixture, spreading out evenly over the onions, and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn upside down to serve.

CHEESE, ONION, AND POTATO PIES
Steps:
- Make the pastry by the usual method, then halve it, form each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and leave in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the potatoes, put them in a saucepan with plenty of cold water, and bring to the boil. Boil gently for 5-10 minutes, or until the cubes are cooked but still retain their shape. Drain and leave to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the green onions, cheese, slightly cooled potato, and parsley. Bind with the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Roll out one of the pastry discs, cut 8 rough circles slightly larger than the indents, and push 4 into the first tray to make the bases. Fill each with an eighth of the mixture and put the remaining 4 circles on as lids. Seal the pie edges with the back of a knife, making a little hole in each one. Repeat for the second tray with the other disc and the remaining half of the filling.
- Cook for 20 minutes, by which time the pastry should be firm, beginning to turn gold, but still pale, and let the pies stand a little out of the oven in their trays before easing them out of the molds.
POTATO, ONION, CHEDDAR UPSIDE DOWN PIE
I have seen some different versions of the potato tart floating around, so of course I had to jump on the band wagon. There is nothing better than some oven cooked "fried" potatoes, than oven cooked "fried" potatoes with onion and cheese. This was off the hook delicious. And of course I couldn't stop there, I made a "queso"...

Steps:
- 1. The number of potatoes will depend on their size. I used red potatoes, but Yukon gold or russet would work fine too. Slice potatoes and onion very thin by hand or using your mandolin.
- 2. I used a cast iron skillet. I drizzled about 2 tbs. of olive oil in the bottom and brushed it around to cover well. Then I sprinkled black pepper and Mrs. Dash original blend in the bottom of the pan to suit my taste. Next layer slices of onion in the bottom.
- 3. Then I added a generous layer of potatoes, re-seasoned with Mrs. Dash.
- 4. Then a generous layer of cheddar.
- 5. Then another layer of potatoes with Mrs. Dash and a little drizzle of olive oil. Place an oven proof lid on and bake at 375° for 30 min., remove lid and bake another 20 min. or until fork slides in easily.
- 6. Let stand for about 10 min. then loosen sides with a spatula, and run it under potatoes to make sure they are not stuck to bottom. Then invert onto plate.
- 7. Next I decided to make a topping for them. I had planned to do a juicy roasted tomato and Thai chili sauce, but ended up adding sour cream and cilantro too.
- 8. First I cut enough cherry tomatoes in half to fill up my small non stick skillet, about 1/2 pint. I drizzled with olive oil and let them cook for about 20 min.
- 9. Once they were somewhat caramelized on the bottom I added 4 oz. of sour cream, 1 tbs. Thai chili sauce and 1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro. Then I poured it onto the potatoes and spread it out. Super delicious!!!!

POTATO CHEESE AND ONION PIE
This has been a favorite of mine since I was about 14 when I first made it. Experiment with different cheeses like gruyere; and I would suggest sprinkling seasoning between the layers for more flavor. Sauteing the potatoes and the onions with some chopped garlic adds a nice touch also.

Steps:
- 1. Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I use jack cheese, fontina, gruyere cheese, cheddar, but I like fontina and jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream and 2% milk, which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your hearts content. This is a fun recipe for that!
- 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10 inch glass pie dish with Pam.
- 3. Scatter 2 teaspoons of garlic on bottom of Pam sprayed pie dish. Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper) Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly. Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, and salt, pepper. Add the milk mixture evenly over the top, and then add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
- 4. Cover the pie with foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
- 5. Cook's Note: I also have a Tater and Onion Pie with ham that is another variation of this recipe and it is posted.
