Yield: 4 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  2. 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  3. 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  4. 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus a few sprigs
  5. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  6. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  7. 1/4 cup dry white wine
  8. 1/4 cup breadcrumbs or matzo meal
  9. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  10. 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
  11. 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  12. 1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, chopped thyme, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the garlic and onion are slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, combine the breadcrumbs or matzo meal, parsley, chives, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl; reserve 2 tablespoons for topping.
  3. Arrange one-third of the potatoes over the onion in the skillet. Sprinkle with half of the remaining crumb mixture; top with another layer of potatoes. Repeat with another layer of the crumb mixture and potatoes. Pour the broth on top. Cover, bring to a boil and cook, undisturbed, 5 minutes.
  4. Uncover, sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Transfer the skillet to the oven; bake until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp on top, about 45 minutes. Let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Mr. Joseph Cummings
Very good & easy to make. Lacked some flavor so, next time, I would add some salt/pepper to the potatoes – at a minimum.
Derrick Grant
Delicious! I didn’t make any changes and it was well received. I will definitely make this again.
Charles Carlson
Just made this for Easter dinner and it was fabulous. Easy and not as heavy as a traditional gratin, so it is a winner!
Tonya Tapia
Awesome holiday side dish. I was afraid the garlic would be too over-powering, but the flavors melded together terrifically. Will be doing it again this winter!

This was absolutely delicious and a nice change from the usual gratins containing milk and cheese. I didn’t have the correct size non-stick skillet so used my 12″ cast iron. Big mistake….difficult clean-up. Definitely need to use a non-stick or ceramic. Also I sliced the potatoes in the food processor and they were less than the 1/4″ recommended thickness but they worked just fine.

Really enjoyed it and the kids loved it too.
