Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds of russet potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
1 medium size onion, peeled and cut in half, and sliced very thin
salt and pepper to taste (light on the pepper)
4 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 cup of grated cheese, divided
2/3 cup of sour cream, whipping cream, or milk (i use a combination of all three!)
1/4 cup parmesan grated fresh
pam spray

Steps:

  • 1. Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I use jack cheese, fontina, gruyere cheese, cheddar, but I like fontina and jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream and 2% milk, which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your hearts content. This is a fun recipe for that!
  • 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10 inch glass pie dish with Pam.
  • 3. Scatter 2 teaspoons of garlic on bottom of Pam sprayed pie dish. Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper) Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly. Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, and salt, pepper. Add the milk mixture evenly over the top, and then add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
  • 4. Cover the pie with foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
  • 5. Cook's Note: I also have a Tater and Onion Pie with ham that is another variation of this recipe and it is posted.

SAUSAGE, APPLE, AND ONION MASHED POTATO PIE



Sausage, Apple, and Onion Mashed Potato Pie image

This is a good fall dinner recipe that is sort of a pie--I originally finished my concoction before everyone got home! If you want, you can skip a few steps and this can be served as two dishes. Also, I do make this with chicken apple sausage, but I think it would be just as good with smoked turkey sausage. I hope that you like it!

My adaptation of Huey's Cheese, Onion & Potato Pie. Huey (Iain Hewitson) is a larger than life Melbourne chef who has written several cookbooks and who features regularly on a number of extremely popular TV show. I have posted several of his recipes on Zaar. Some conversions: 100g = approximately 31/2 ounces; 150g = just under 5 ounces; 250g = 8 ounces; 1kg = 32 ounces or 2 pounds.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil (or more if you are not using a non-stick pan)
2 large onions, sliced
1 leek, sliced
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
100 g cubed tasty cheese
150 g grated tasty cheese
250 g creme fraiche (or sour cream, low-fat is fine)
1 kg medium-large potato, peeled & very finely sliced (place in water until you are ready to add them in the layers in the pie)
sea salt, to taste (to be added between layers of the pie)
fresh ground black pepper, to taste (to be added between layers of the pie)
1 puff pastry sheet
1 egg
1/4 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced (200°C normal)/350°-375°F/4-5 gas mark.
  • Heat a little oil in a heavy-based - preferably non-stick - pan and gently sauté the onions, spring onions and leek until softish, stirring now and again; remove the pan from the heat; add the minced garlic and thyme to the pan and mix to combine the ingredients.
  • Combine all the tasty cheese with the crème fraiche or sour cream.
  • Place several layers of potato in the base of a well-greased round oven dish and season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; top with half of the sautéed onions, leek and garlic; add several dollops of the cheese mixture (there is no need to spread this out as the cheeses will spread out as the pie starts to cook and the cheeses melt); repeat these steps, ending with the cheese layer.
  • Cut a round of pastry to cover and slightly overlap the dish in which the pie is to be cooked.
  • Beat together the egg and milk; brush the outside edges of the dish just below the rim with the egg wash and place the pastry round on top of the pie, overhanging the edge of the dish; press down the sides of the pastry onto the sides of the dish and brush the top of the pie and the overlapping edges of the pastry with the egg wash.
  • Cook the pie in the lower part of the oven for about 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
  • Serve the pie with a salad greens.

POTATO, ONION, CHEDDAR UPSIDE DOWN PIE



Potato, onion, cheddar upside down pie image

I have seen some different versions of the potato tart floating around, so of course I had to jump on the band wagon. There is nothing better than some oven cooked "fried" potatoes, than oven cooked "fried" potatoes with onion and cheese. This was off the hook delicious. And of course I couldn't stop there, I made a "queso"...

Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 red potatoes (or your fav)
1 sweet onion
6 oz grated cheddar
**mrs. dash original blend
**black pepper
** olive oil
SAUCE
1/2 pt cherry tomatoes, halved
1-2 tsp olive oil
4 oz light sour cream
1 Tbsp thai chili sauce
1/2 c chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. The number of potatoes will depend on their size. I used red potatoes, but Yukon gold or russet would work fine too. Slice potatoes and onion very thin by hand or using your mandolin.
  • 2. I used a cast iron skillet. I drizzled about 2 tbs. of olive oil in the bottom and brushed it around to cover well. Then I sprinkled black pepper and Mrs. Dash original blend in the bottom of the pan to suit my taste. Next layer slices of onion in the bottom.
  • 3. Then I added a generous layer of potatoes, re-seasoned with Mrs. Dash.
  • 4. Then a generous layer of cheddar.
  • 5. Then another layer of potatoes with Mrs. Dash and a little drizzle of olive oil. Place an oven proof lid on and bake at 375° for 30 min., remove lid and bake another 20 min. or until fork slides in easily.
  • 6. Let stand for about 10 min. then loosen sides with a spatula, and run it under potatoes to make sure they are not stuck to bottom. Then invert onto plate.
  • 7. Next I decided to make a topping for them. I had planned to do a juicy roasted tomato and Thai chili sauce, but ended up adding sour cream and cilantro too.
  • 8. First I cut enough cherry tomatoes in half to fill up my small non stick skillet, about 1/2 pint. I drizzled with olive oil and let them cook for about 20 min.
  • 9. Once they were somewhat caramelized on the bottom I added 4 oz. of sour cream, 1 tbs. Thai chili sauce and 1/2 c. chopped fresh cilantro. Then I poured it onto the potatoes and spread it out. Super delicious!!!!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality onion. A sweet onion, such as a Vidalia or Walla Walla, will give the pie the best flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly. This will help them cook evenly and become caramelized.
  • Cook the onions slowly and patiently. Caramelizing the onions takes time, but it's worth it for the rich, sweet flavor.
  • Don't crowd the onions in the pan. Give them plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Season the onions well. Salt, pepper, and a little bit of sugar will help bring out their flavor.
  • Use a flaky pie crust. A store-bought pie crust will work fine, but a homemade crust will give the pie a more rustic, homey feel.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Onion potato pie is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. The combination of caramelized onions, tender potatoes, and a flaky crust is simply irresistible. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give onion potato pie a try.
