SERVING SIZE

serves 6-8

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic

2 bay leaves

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 1/4 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese

1/2 cup freshly grated gruyere cheese (or mild Swiss cheese)

1 cup plain dry panko bread crumbs

2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced

1 tablespoon fresh sage, minced

1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, minced

2 1/2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/8 inch thick rounds

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan. Add the onions and cook over high heat, stirring, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, bay leaves, nutmeg, 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Add the heavy cream and milk and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, toss the cheese with the bread crumbs, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Remove the bay leaves from the onion mixture and stir in three tablespoons of fresh herbs. Put the sliced potatoes in a large bowl, add the onion mixture and toss gently. Spread half of the potatoes and liquid in a 2-quart nonreactive baking dish and sprinkle 2/3 cup of the cheese bread crumbs over the top. Cover with the remaining potatoes and press firmly to pack them down. Spoon the remaining liquid over the potatoes and cover with the remaining bread crumbs. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden; if they are browning too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil, then remove for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
