How to Make Savoury Onion Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced, and sauté until softened and lightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. In a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of 2 pounds of thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Top with half of the sautéed onions. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and onions, seasoning each layer.
  5. Pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream evenly over the potatoes and onions. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of paprika over the top.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
  7. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned.
  8. (Optional) For a heartier dish, stir in 1/2 cup of frozen peas, 1/2 cup of diced cooked ham, and 1/2 cup of grated Swiss cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
