Potato and Caramelized Onion Tart
- 1/2 box instant pie crust mix
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 russet potato, sliced thinly
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions.
- Flatten into a disk and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat the canola oil.
- Add the onions and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat.
- In the meantime, using the slicing blade attachment of a food processor, or with a box grater, slice half the potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
- Place in cold water to avoid browning.
- (Reserve the remaining half of potato for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.)
- In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Italian seasoning, mustard and season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the pie crust from the fridge and roll into a 12-inch round about 1/4-inch thick.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture in an even layer over the pie crust, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edge.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly and place an even layer on top of the cream cheese, overlapping slightly to fit and keeping 1/2-inch from the edge of the cream cheese.
- Over the top of the potatoes place an even layer of caramelized onions.
- (Reserve 1/2 cup of the onions for another use, such as Round 2 Recipe Open Faced Roast Pork and Onion Sandwich.)
- Fold over the edges of the crust to create a 1-inch-wide border around the tart filling.
- Bake until the crust is golden and the potatoes are cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
