Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick). You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
- Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a greased baking dish, start with a layer of potato slices, slightly overlapping them.
- Add a layer of sliced onions on top of the potatoes.
- Sprinkle some minced garlic over the onions.
- Repeat this layering process until all the potatoes, onions, and garlic are used up.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy whipping cream and maple syrup, stirring continuously until they are well mixed and slightly warmed (do not boil).
- Pour the cream and maple syrup mixture evenly over the layered potatoes and onions.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the potato bake.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 40 minutes covered.
- After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the caramelized potato bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the dish to set slightly.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to ensure the potato slices are even, which helps them cook evenly.
- Let the potatoes soak in cold water for 10-15 minutes after slicing to remove excess starch, which can help achieve a crispier texture.
- Preheat the oven to ensure even cooking and avoid a soggy bake.
- Allow the dish to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to let the flavors meld together and the bake to set.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary on top before baking.
