Ingredients

4 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
48 oz. Tasteful Selections® Potatoes, sliced ¼-inch thick
4 c. half & half
3 cloves garlic, finely grated
3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus chopped fresh thyme for farnish
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 oz. Gruyere cheese, shredded, divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350-degrees. In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until golden-brown, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a large pot over low heat, combine half & half, garlic, thyme and bay leaves. Add potatoes and bring to a simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove thyme and bay leaves and remove from heat.
Grease ramekins with cooking spray and fill each half way with potatoes and onions using a slotted spoon. Add half of the cheese and top each ramekin with remaining potatoes. Pour half & half mixture over potatoes and top with remaining onions and cheese. Bake, uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden-brown. Top with thyme. Rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
