- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup shortening chilled
- 1/3 cup butter chilled
- 4 tablespoons ice cold water
- In a mixer or food processor place the flour, butter and shortening, and pulse a few times to combine. Then with the mixer running add the tablespoons of water one at a time until the dough forms.
- Place the dough onto a floured surface and form into a flattened out ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to rest for about one hour or more.

- In a saute pan cook the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon bits to a paper towel to drain and reserve the bacon fat.
- In the saute pan with the bacon fat cook the onions on medium heat until they begin to brown ( about 25 minutes). Once browned remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly
- When you are ready to make the tart, roll out the dough and place into the tart pan.
- Preheat your oven to 400u0b0.
- Now slice the potatoes 1/8 of an in thick and arrange in a single overlapping layer.
- Lightly salt and pepper the potatoes, take about 1/3 of the rosemary and with the parsley sprinkle over the potatoes, and finish with the bacon bits.
- Now spoon the cooked onions in an even layer over the potatoes.
- In a bowl combine the eggs, cream and remaining rosemary and whisk well. Pour custard mixture over the onion layer and allow to settle.
- Place in the center of the oven and bake for about 45 minutes until the crust is browned and the potatoes are cooked.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with sour cream or Creme Fraiche on the side.
