How to Make Potato Crusted Onion Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Generously butter a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Peel and grate 2 pounds russet or Idaho potatoes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the grated potatoes with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Press the potato mixture firmly into the buttered pie dish, ensuring it goes up the sides to form a crust.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, until the potatoes are firm and slightly dried.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (191°C).
  7. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook slowly for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and very soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Allow the caramelized onions to cool to nearly room temperature.
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Spread the cooled caramelized onions evenly into the pre-baked potato crust.
  12. Pour the custard mixture over the onions.
  13. Bake at 375°F (191°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
  14. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the custard to set.
