UPSIDE-DOWN SOUR CREAM AND ONION POTATO BREAD



Upside-Down Sour Cream and Onion Potato Bread image

Okay, what if you took a sour cream and onion chip and turned it into a skillet bread? Mashed potatoes give the loaf tenderness and flavor while the onions on top are loaded with a tangy homemade seasoning mix. It's impossible to eat just one slice. If your pantry is short on dried spices, swap in a packet of French onion soup seasoning and use in place of the homemade mix for an equally tasty loaf.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch pieces (about 2 large potatoes)
1 large onion, preferably Vidalia
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
4 1/2 teaspoons sour cream and onion seasoning mix, recipe follows
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1 large egg
1 tablespoon dried chives
2 tablespoons dried chives
1 1/2 teaspoons dried buttermilk powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a large pot of unsalted water; bring to a simmer and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot over low heat, shaking until they are dry, about 1 minute. Rice or mash the potatoes using a food mill or potato masher.
  • Peel the onion, cut off the ends and slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. (You should have 4 slices.) Lay the slices flat on a large plate and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium low until it shimmers. Add the onion slices, seasoned-side up, and cook until the onions are fairly soft and the bottoms turn slightly golden-brown, about 6 minutes. Flip the onions and sprinkle each of the four exposed sides with another 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the sour cream and onion seasoning in a large bowl. Stir in the mashed potatoes, breaking up any clumps, until the potatoes are well-coated with flour.
  • Whisk together the milk, sour cream and egg in a separate large bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be heavy and thick; do not overmix.
  • Scrape the batter into the skillet over the onions and use a knife or spatula to smooth the top. Bake until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to unmold. If the onions stick to the pan, gently lift from the skillet and place back on top of the loaf. Sprinkle with the dried chives. Let cool another 20 minutes before serving.
  • Whisk together the chives, buttermilk powder, onion powder, salt, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and sugar. Store extra mix in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1/4 cup.

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For pastry dough
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 to 10 tablespoons ice water
For filling and glaze
1 medium boiling potato (5 oz)
2 cups finely chopped onion (1 large)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
9 oz good-quality white Cheddar, coarsely grated (2 1/2 cups)
Special Equipment
a pastry or bench scraper; a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) just until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
  • Drizzle evenly with 8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork mixture, or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn out mixture onto a work surface and divide into 6 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute butter. Gather dough together with scraper and press into 2 balls, one slightly bigger than the other, then flatten into disks. Chill each disk, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Make filling and glaze while dough chills:
  • Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice (3/4 cup). Steam potato in a steamer set over boiling water, covered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Cook onion in butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to plate to cool.
  • Whisk together 2 eggs, cream, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined well. Stir in potato, onion, and cheese.
  • Whisk remaining egg in a small bowl and reserve for egg glaze.
  • Assemble and bake pie:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and put a large baking sheet on it, then preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Roll out larger piece of dough into a 13-inch round on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin and fit into tart pan. Spoon filling evenly into pie shell and brush some of egg glaze on rim of shell.
  • Roll out smaller piece of dough into a 12-inch round in same manner, then cover pie with it. Trim edges of pie, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, then press edges together and crimp decoratively.
  • Brush top of pie lightly with some of remaining egg glaze. Cut several steam vents in top crust with a small sharp knife.
  • Bake pie on hot baking sheet until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar will give the pie a more robust flavor.
  • Make sure the potatoes are thinly sliced. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you try to fit too many potatoes in the pan, they won't cook evenly.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the potatoes are tender. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the cheese set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Potato-onion-cheddar upside-down pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. With its crispy crust, tender potatoes, and melted cheese, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
