Apple, Potato and Onion Gratin
"this recipe comes from bon appetit. i took it to a dinner party to be served with pork and it was a hit. not as sweet as you might think, but really good and different potato dish. i skipped the parchment paper, because i didn't have any and it was no problem."

Yummy!! I just made this and completely loved it! I was also unsure about how it would turn out, but I definitely recommend it. I did have to make a variation, I did not have enough yukons so I made the dish with half yukons and half sweet potatoes. I love sweet so I loved the sweet potatoes mixed in, I don't think I would ever make it with just sweet potatoes though. The part that was made with just yukons was also amazing, this recipe is certainly a keeper. Even better that it has make ahead instructions! And I have to say, I just reheated and polished off the remainder of the leftovers...just as yummy the second night as the first. Enjoy and thanks for posting! -
Oh man, my mom makes this and it is the best! I was just looking around to see if it was already posted, cause it is a fantastic recipe! I love the savory-sweet combo, and the thyme is just perfect. Can't say enough about it! A must try!

For fun i like gardening, listening to music, reading magazines and cookbooks, playing tennis, playing with my dogs (2 labs, 1 yorkie)and cooking. My favorite cookbook is Joy of Cooking and I am addicted to watching the food network. I love Jamie Oliver's style. A pet peeve in the kitchen is my husband picking at the food before it's ready. (Maybe I should take that as a compliment!)</p>
