Potatoes With Onions and Beer image

Big, bold tastes combined. And the beer helps taking the sting out of chopping the onions :) Use a good, full-flavored ale or Belgian beer for this one.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/16 inch thick (russet, Yukon Gold or White Rose,)
1 cup beer
3 tablespoons butter (divided ) or 3 tablespoons margarine (divided )
4 cups coarsely chopped onions
1 1/2 teaspoons salt (divided )
fresh ground pepper
1 cup grated gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the beer.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a Dutch oven, add the chopped onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some freshly ground pepper. Stir. Cover and simmer slowly for 15 minutes, checking that onions do not burn.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter a 2-quart rectangular or oval baking dish 14 inches by 8 inches by 2 inches.
  • Overlap one-third of the potato slices in one layer; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle on one-third of the Gruyere and half the braised onions. Continue with more layers, ending with cheese (do not salt the top layer). There will be only 2 layers of onions. Pour any remaining beer over the onions and dot the top with the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Bake on the middle shelf of the oven until potatoes are soft, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

I made this recipe with some leftover stout and it was delicious! The stout added a nice roasty flavor to the dish.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it! The beer flavor was subtle and didn't overpower the other ingredients.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make when I'm looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The potatoes and onions are always tender and flavorful, and the beer adds a nice depth of flavor.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit! The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the onions were caramelized to perfection. The beer added a subtle flavor that really brought the dish together.

This dish was incredibly flavorful and easy to make. The combination of potatoes, onions, and beer created a rich and savory broth that was perfect for dipping bread or spooning over rice.
