ingredients

1 cup gruyere cheese, grated
1 egg
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
²⁄₃ cup heavy cream
3 large potatoes
1 large onion, sliced very thin

directions

Set the oven to 350 degrees.
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (a mandolin allows you to complete this step within minutes and you can purchase a good one for about $20.) Put them in a bowl of water.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat and cook the onion until slightly soft.
Butter a medium size baking dish and spread a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spoon some onions on top.
Add salt and pepper and sprinkle with cheese. Continue layering potatoes, onions, and cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for the top), finishing with potatoes.
Beat the egg into the cream. Pour it over the potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese on top.
Bake for about 1 1/2 hours. Test them with a knife to ensure they are cooked all the way through.

I love cooking, dancing, singing, fundraising, researching interesting topics, being a mom and wife. Oh, and I love the coast! I have a Master's Degree in Speech/Language Pathology. Our beautiful, one and only son will be off to college in two years. When that happens, I will diligently pursue Speech/Language Pathology again. I've been cooking since I was 8 years old. My first memory of cooking alone ...I'm on one of our kitchen chairs, it's a Saturday morning, and I'm frying bacon. I fried it alright. Didn't realize that food would continue to cook after taken off the burner. I was hooked. I love a challenge. I am having a great time on this site!<a href=http://photobucket.com/icons/ target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> I>http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa118/detenator_2007/emoticons/yay.gif> I am participating/participated in: <img src=<a href= alt= /> http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/APG/576-21387~Oooookles-of-Noodles-posters.jpg> src=<a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> src=</a><a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> src=</a><a href=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> src=</a><a href=http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd223/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg> href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank> <img src=<a href= alt= />>http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/footballpool-1.jpg>
