Ingredients
- 50 g butter
- 4 Onions thinly sliced
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp honey
- 100 ml white wine
- 900 g Potatoes thinly uniformly sliced
- 800 ml Chicken Stock or Strong Vegetable Stock
- 4-5 sprigs thyme
- Salt & Pepper to Season
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt some butter, and add the onions, honey, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Cook without stirring for 2 minutes. Once the onions start to caramelise, stir once or twice and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes until fully coloured and the bottom of the pan start to attach.
- Next, add the white wine and gently stir to catch the flavour. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In an ovenproof dish, place a layer of potatoes, then add a layer of the caramelised onions. Continue to layer potatoes and onions, finishing with a layer of potato and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the stock over the potatoes and add the herbs, extra garlic if desired, and some butter.
- Cover loosely with parchment and bake in the oven for 1.30 to 2 hours until the potatoes are soft, and the stock has mostly evaporated.
- Keep warm or cool and store in the fridge for 2-4 days.
