Tastylicious potatoes

So, I don't usually post recipes, *but*... I love, love, love this Potato and Onion Tart and had, sadly, lost the recipe. After searching through a stack of old newspapers, I finally re-found the recipe and do not want to lose it again. If I put it here, I should be able to keep track of it and (bonus!) some of you may get to experience its yumminess. I like to serve this dish with a green salad and a little wine. Enjoy!

Yummy Potato and Onion Tart

1 large (about 9 oz) Idaho potato, peeled and thinly sliced
6 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp seasoned salt
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 tsp sugar
1 c shredded Swiss cheese
½ c dry bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 375° F.

  • In small bowl, toss potato slices with 1 Tbsp melted butter and salt.
  • Arrange slices in 10-inch pie pan and bake for 20 minutes.
  • In medium skillet, over medium heat, sauté the onion in 3 Tbsp melted butter until soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to low, sprinkle the onion with sugar, and continue (stirring occasionally) to cook until onions are deep brown, but not burned or crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • When potatoes are done, remove from oven and spread onion mixture over them.
  • Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese.
  • In small bowl, combine bread crumbs with remaining two Tbsp of melted butter and sprinkle the mixture over the cheese.
  • Return the tart to the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and crumb topping is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let tart cool 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 servings.
