Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 thinly sliced sweet onion
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon thyme
• 1.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine salt, pepper, and thyme in a bowl.

Step 2

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions until soft and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Move to a bowl.

Step 3

Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet; remove from heat.

Step 4

Arrange 1/3 of potato slices in the skillet in a slightly overlapping layer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt mixture. Top with 1/2 of the onions and 1/2 of the Gruyere cheese. Repeat layers, ending with potatoes; sprinkle with remaining salt mixture.

Step 5

Cover and cook over medium-low heat, reducing heat to low if necessary, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking, about 5 minutes. Run a spatula around edges to loosen; let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 6

Invert potatoes carefully onto a serving dish.
