Caramelized Onion Potato Tart
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large Russet potatoes, washed
- 2 to 3 tablespoons butter, broken into small pieces
- Special equipment: parchment paper cut into large circle to fit saute pan
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Add sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until they are tender and brown all over.
- Using a mandolin (or sharp knife), finely slice the potatoes into rounds (you can place them in a bowl with a wet towel over the top to stop them from going brown while you work).
- Place the potatoes into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- When ready, add the onions and toss to combine without breaking potatoes.
- Add about 1 tablespoon water to the same pan the onions were cooked in and allow it to come to a bubble.
- Using layered paper towels, wipe the pan clean.
- Add some extra-virgin olive oil to the pan and add the potatoes to the pan, making sure the potatoes are flat.
- Top with the diced butter.
- Take a piece of parchment paper and fold in half.
- Find the middle of the parchment along the crease and hold in place with your finger.
- Taking the right side of the parchment, pull it towards the center and fold it straight down to create a diagonal edge.
- Fold the parchment in half to create a triangle.
- Place the pointed edge in the middle of the saute pan on top of the potatoes to find its radius.
- Make a marker of where the pan edge ends (or starts).
- At this point you can cut the parchment at this marker and open to reveal a circle.
- Cover the potatoes with the parchment paper and press down.
- Drizzle some extra-virgin olive oil over the top so it down burn and rub it in.
- Place the pan into the oven on the top rack and bake for about 45 minutes.
- When done remove from oven and run a knife around the edge to separate from the pan.
- Place a large plate on top of the saute pan and flip.
- Remove the saute pan.
- Allow to cool slightly before cutting into slices.
