this recipe comes from bon appetit. i took it to a dinner party to be served with pork and it was a hit. not as sweet as you might think, but really good and different potato dish. i skipped the parchment paper, because i didn't have any and it was no problem.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

12 tablespoons butter, divided
2 lbs onions, sliced
2 tablespoons packed chopped fresh thyme
4 teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup dry white wine
4 teaspoons sugar
2 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes or 2 1/2 lbs similar potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/4 inch thick rounds
2 lbs tart apples (such as granny smith)

Steps:

preheat oven to 400 degrees. butter a 13x9 pyrex.
melt 6 T butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. add onion, thyme and 2 t salt; saute until onion are translucent, about 10 minutes.
increase heat to medium-high; saute until onion are tender and begin to color, about 8 minutes longer. remove from heat. add remaining 6 T butter, 2/3 c water, wine, and sugar to skillet; stir and swirl skillet to combine. bring to a boil, then cool onion mixture to lukewarm.
combine potatoes, apples, remaining 2 t salt and onion mixture in large bowl; toss gently to blend.
transfer to prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. cover dish with parchment paper, then cover with foil, shiny side down.
bake gratin until potatoes are tender, about 55 minutes. uncover and bake until top browns and juices bubble thickly, about 20 minutes longer.
(can be made 6 hours ahead. let stand uncovered at room temperature. rewarm, loosely covered with foil, in 300 degree oven for 20 minutes.) let gratin stand 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russet or Idaho, making them ideal for gratins.
Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère is a classic choice for gratins, but you can also use other hard cheeses like Parmesan, cheddar, or Emmental.
Don't overcook the gratin: The potatoes should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
Let the gratin rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheese to set.

Conclusion:

Apple, potato, and onion gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and apples, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender potatoes, and sweet apples, this gratin is a comfort food classic that's perfect for any occasion.
