Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions

We were having steak for dinner and I thought some creamy potatoes would be a delicious side dish. I found this recipe on The Food Network for Scalloped Potatoes. I adapted it to work with what ingredients I had on hand. This dish was simple to make and so delicious. I loved the sharp flavor of the Asiago cheese with the soft potatoes and creamy caramelized onions. It paired beautifully with the steak and house salad. My husband and I loved these potatoes but my children requested that I make mashed potatoes and gravy next time.

Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions:

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded Asiago cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
• Freshly grated nutmeg

How to Make Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat a skillet coated with olive oil over medium heat, add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 25 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper; cook for an additional 60 seconds, stirring constantly.

Layer the dish with a portion of the potatoes then cover the potatoes with half of the caramelized onions then sprinkle with some cheese. Repeat a second layer and finish with a final layer of potatoes.
