Directions

Place onion, butter and brown sugar into a large skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have caramelized, about 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Place a single layer of potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Cover with a thin layer of onions. Drizzle some of the cream, and sprinkle some of the rosemary over the layer. Repeat layers four times ending with onions, cream and rosemary.
Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until top potatoes are golden brown and sauce is bubbling.

"I must admit I did change this recipe slightly. I did not add brown sugar, because carmelized onions are very sweet on their own, I didn't want it to be a dessert. I also peeled my potatoes, I just ..." See moredon't like the skin. I also did not add the rosemary, partly because I didn't have any and partly because I don't care for that either. But this is the only way I will make "escalloped" potatoes from now on. No dried up potatoes for me anymore. So creamy and flavorfull. My husband raved about these. A must for company or a pot luck if you want to show off! A+A+A+"

"We loved this dish! I cut the ingredients in half as I was only making it for DH and I and I increased the cream, but only marginally. We will definitely make this again, and the only think I will c..." See morehange is the amount of brown sugar used. While it does give the onions a lovely golden colour, we found it to be a bit sweet. Next time I will only use 1 or 2 tbsp."

"This recipe is awesome! I reduced the brown sugar to 2 Tbsp and used peeled russet potatoes. I also deglazed the onions with a Tbsp of Madiera. Took it to a dinner group and they all but licked the ca..." See moresserole dish!! It is definitely a keeper. Such a great change from the cheesey potatoes casserole that we always return to. Thanks so much for a great recipe!"
