POTATO AND CARAMELIZED ONION TART



Potato and Caramelized Onion Tart image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 box instant pie crust mix
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 russet potato, sliced thinly
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions. Flatten into a disk and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In the meantime, using the slicing blade attachment of a food processor, or with a box grater, slice half the potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place in cold water to avoid browning. (Reserve the remaining half of potato for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.)
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, mustard and season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove the pie crust from the fridge and roll into a 12-inch round about 1/4-inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer over the pie crust, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edge.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly and place an even layer on top of the cream cheese, overlapping slightly to fit and keeping 1/2-inch from the edge of the cream cheese. Over the top of the potatoes place an even layer of caramelized onions. (Reserve 1/2 cup of the onions for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.) Fold over the edges of the crust to create a 1-inch-wide border around the tart filling.
  • Bake until the crust is golden and the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large onion, sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large Russet potatoes, washed
2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
  • Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work). Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper. When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
  • Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble. Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
  • Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat. Top with the diced butter.
  • Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half. Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger. Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge. Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle. Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius. Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts). At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
  • Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down. Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
  • Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan. Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip. Remove the saute pan. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.

CARAMELIZED ONION AND SWEET POTATO TART



Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Tart image

It may look daunting, but this is worth the effort! I've made this for some very picky eaters and I have yet to hear a complaint! If you cannot find Manchego cheese (it is a soft Spanish cheese) or Gruyere, you can use mozzarella and Swiss instead. I have done this before with good results.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss hold their shape well and are perfect for this dish.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly: This will bring out their natural sweetness and give the flan a rich flavor.
  • Use a good-quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère would be a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the flan: The flan should be cooked until just set. Overcooking will make it dry and rubbery.
  • Let the flan cool before serving: This will help it to set properly and make it easier to slice.
