Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 medium Yellow onions
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and thinly slice the onions.

Step 4

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until deeply golden and caramelized. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.

Step 5

Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the onion-cream mixture, ensuring every piece is coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
