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.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan until the butter has melted. Cook the onion over a medium heat for about 10 minutes until beautifully golden, stirring often. Stir in the sugar and cook for another couple of minutes. Tip the onion and juices into a bowl and set aside. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C.
- For the pastry, rub the butter into the flour to make fine crumbs. Stir in the parmesan, thyme and a pinch of salt. Add the egg yolk and 2 tbsp cold water, then mix to make a dough. Wrap in cling film.
- For the tomatoes, heat the butter and oil in a 20cm tart tatin tin on the hob until quite hot. Stir in the sugar and garlic, then put in the plum tomatoes cut-side down with a few thyme sprigs, and sizzle for no more than 1 minute. Scatter in the whole cherry tomatoes and tuck in a bit more thyme. Take off the heat and spread the onions on top. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roll out the pastry until it's slightly bigger than the top of the tin. Lay it over the onions and tuck any excess down the sides.
- Bake on a baking sheet for 25 minutes until golden. Cool for 5 minutes, invert a plate over the top and upturn the tart onto it. Scatter with extra thyme and black pepper.

Yield Makes six 5-inch tartlets
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Very generously butter six 5-inch round metal pie plates; set aside. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to a scant 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cutter or a small plate as a guide, cut dough into 4 1/2-inch rounds. Prick rounds all over with a fork. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet; chill until firm, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay two or three onion rounds on the bottom of each pie pan. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice potatoes into thin rounds, about a scant 1/4 inch thick. Place potato slices, slightly overlapping, over the onion in two layers of concentric circles (they should completely cover the onion). Sprinkle potatoes generously with salt and pepper. Place chilled puff pastry rounds on top of the potatoes in each pie plate. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Immediately invert tartlets onto a platter. In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture reduces to a syrup, about 4 minutes. Whisk in butter, a piece at a time, until incorporated. Season with salt and pepper. Glaze tartlets with balsamic syrup and serve warm.

Steps:
- Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Put the sugar in a heavy-based saucepan and melt over a medium heat. Cook to a dark caramel, occasionally swirling the pan gently to help melt any remaining sugar and get an even colour. Add the vinegar, stir to combine, and pour into the tray, spreading it out. Leave to cool.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Add a splash of oil to an ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat. Lay the onions cut-side down and fry until blackened and just starting to burn, about 5 mins. Add the thyme sprigs, then transfer to the oven and bake for 25 mins. Once the onions are tender, remove from the pan. Space them out evenly, cut-side down, on the caramel and leave to cool.
- Once the onions are cool, cut the pastry into six equal discs, each large enough to cover an onion half. Cover the onions with the pastry, tucking it under slightly. Put the tray in the fridge for 1 hr so that the pastry firms up a bit.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the onion tarts for 20 mins, then reduce heat to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 10 mins more.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Once cool enough to handle, turn the tarts so the onions are now facing up. Lay a slice of goat's cheese on top of each and bake for a further 10 mins. Remove from the oven and sprinkle over a few thyme leaves to serve.

Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 19
Steps:
- To make the tatin, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch round gratin dish. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cumin and cook until golden brown and soft, stirring from time to time, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet, add the potatoes and toss to coat. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Layer the potatoes in the prepared dish. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Top the potatoes with the goat cheese and then the onion mixture. Place the pastry on a work surface and press out the seams. Cut out a 9-inch circle and pierce it all over with a fork. Place the pastry over the cheese.
- Meanwhile, to make the sauce, melt 2 teaspoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Refrigerate the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Add the mushrooms, shallots, garlic, thyme, tarragon and basil and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the Madeira and dry red wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 6 minutes. Add the broth and simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20 minutes.
- Increase oven heat to 400 degrees. Bake the tatin until the pastry is brown, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a simmer. Cut the butter into small pieces. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually whisk in the butter pieces. Remove the thyme sprig.
- To serve, run a small knife around the edge of the tatin to loosen. Invert onto a plate and cut into 4 wedges. Place 1 wedge on each of 4 plates and spoon some of the sauce around each one. Serve immediately.

- Potato Tarte Tatin how-to
- Thinly sliced layers of onions and potatoes are topped with rounds of puff pastry before baking.
Tips:
- Use a good quality puff pastry for the best results.
- Make sure the potatoes are thinly sliced so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes. They should be in a single layer so that they can brown properly.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Use a variety of cheeses to add flavor and richness to the tartes.
- Serve the tartes warm with a side salad or soup.

Individual potato and onion tartes tatin are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both impressive and delicious.
