Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups yellow potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 large yellow or sweet onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese (plant-based)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until onions turn deep golden brown and develop their natural sweetness, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes: While the onions caramelize, peel and slice yellow potatoes into thin rounds to ensure even cooking and proper absorption of flavors.
  3. Combine Onions and Potatoes: Add minced garlic to the skillet with the caramelized onions and cook until fragrant. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar (natural), and fresh thyme. Carefully fold in the sliced potatoes, coating them evenly with the onion mixture.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Transfer the potato and onion mixture into a greased baking dish, layering if necessary. Top with a generous amount of shredded plant-based cheese (plant-based). Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 45 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking to let flavors meld and make serving easier. Garnish optionally with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

  • Take time to slowly caramelize onions to develop rich, sweet flavors.
  • Slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking and texture.
  • Use fresh thyme added at the right time to maximize herbal aroma.
  • Adjust salt and vinegar gradually to balance sweetness and acidity.
  • Let dish rest after baking to improve texture and flavor melding.
