Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the onions and slice them thinly.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until they are caramelized and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent them from burning.
- In a baking dish, start by layering half of the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom.
- Spread half of the caramelized onions over the potato layer.
- Sprinkle half of the fresh thyme over the onions.
- Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes, onions, and thyme.
- Pour the chicken gravy evenly over the layered potatoes and onions. The gravy should seep through the layers, coating all the ingredients.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure that your potatoes are sliced thinly and evenly to promote uniform cooking. A mandoline slicer can be very helpful for this.
- Caramelize the onions slowly over low heat to bring out their natural sweetness, adding depth to the dish.
- Use fresh thyme for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor. If you don't have fresh thyme, dried thyme can be substituted, but use it sparingly.
- Consider adding a bit of garlic for an extra layer of flavor if you enjoy garlicky notes.
- For a richer dish, substitute some of the butter with olive oil or duck fat.
- Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking; this helps the flavors to meld together and makes it easier to serve.
With its tender layers of potatoes and the subtle sweetness of caramelized onions, Boulangerie potatoes is a dish that encapsulates the essence of simple yet sophisticated French cuisine. By following these steps, you'll create a delicious and satisfying side that's perfect for any meal. Bon appétit!
