SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 2 large Spanish onions, julienned
- 2 Tbsp. canola oil
- 1 Tbsp. butter
- 2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cups Hood® Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tsp. kosher salt

Directions
-
STEP 1
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and canola oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions have a light golden color. Turn the heat down to low and continue cooking until deep amber in color. Add the butter and thyme and remove from heat.
-
STEP 2
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large pan, bring the Hood® Heavy Cream up to a simmer. Remove from the heat, add Parmesan cheese and kosher salt.

STEP 3
Peel the potatoes and store in water until ready to slice. Remove each potato from the water and slice thinly (about 1/8 of an inch thick.) Do not put the slices back in water at any time or your gratin will not hold together after baking. Pan spray your baking dish. Layer 3 layers of potato into dish, then 1/3 of your onion mixture and 1/3 of your cheese. Repeat these layers twice, ending with caramelized onions, then cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center meets no resistance. Remove the foil and continue to bake 6-10 more minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and let cool 20 minutes before cutting.
