Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 large Yellow onion
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1 9-inch Pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds (about 1/8-inch thick). Use a mandoline slicer for best results.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the onions.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until just warm. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges if necessary. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.

Step 8

Layer half of the potato slices in overlapping circles on the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 9

Spread half of the caramelized onions over the potatoes.

Step 10

Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the onions.

Step 11

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheddar cheese.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk the egg into the warm heavy cream mixture, and pour it evenly over the pie.

Step 13

Dot the top of the pie with the remaining two tablespoons of butter.

Step 14

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 15

Cover the pie with foil and bake for 40 minutes.

Step 16

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 17

Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
