Perfect for a roast, for a lazy, relaxing sunday, just to leave it in the oven cooking, slow-cooking, for two-three hours while you watch a game on TV, look at the paper, or read your favorite book. This is great.
Pommes De Terre a la Boulangere:
Potatoes a la Bakery ~
~ French Food at Home ~
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 onions, sliced
2 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh thyme sprigs, leaves picked
2 cups beef stock
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Melt half the butter with the olive oil in a saute pan; gently fry the onions until lightly golden, about 15 minutes.
Spread half the onions in the bottom of a casserole dish. Lay a layer of sliced potatoes on top; season with salt and pepper. Then scatter with thyme leaves. Build another layer of onions, then a final layer of the potatoes. Pour over the stock. Cover the pan with foil…
… and bake until the liquid has been absorbed for two to three hours.
For a soft top, keep the foil on during the cooking time alotted. Remove the foil for the last hour if you wish to have a crisp top…
So good!
