Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Cover and store in the fridge.

POTATO GRATIN WITH CARAMELIZED ONION AND PROSCIUTTO (OR BACON)

Steps:

• First, the caramelized onions:.
• IN EACH STEP, YOU WILL NEED TO STIR ABOUT EVERY 10-15 MINUTES, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
• Cut off stem and root ends of onions, and peel away the dried skin. Slice into 1/4" slices adn gather in a large, heavy bottomed pot. A 7 qt pot works perfectly.
• Pour the oil and salt over onions and toss to combine. (NOTE: Because I fried bacon to use for the dish, I used 2 T of the bacon fat, and then added veggie oil to make up the 1/2 Cup. Gave a great other layer of flavor to the onions) Set over medium heat and cover. Cook until onions begin to wilt, for 20-30 minutes. (Don't forget the stirring!)
• Reduce heat to low and continue cooking, with pot still covered, for 45 minutes. (are you still stirring?).
• Remove the lid, increase heat to medium and cook (stirring) 30 minutes, or until most of moisture has evaporated.
• Reduce heat to low and continue cooking for about 2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes.
• Continue cooking and stirring for about 1 more hour. You'll need to watch more carefully now, stirring about every 10 minutes. Cook until onions have been reduced to a deep reddish-brown marmalade, watching that they do not dry out. When done, removed from heat and set aside to cool.

• Slice potatoes as thinly as possible (a V-slicer works great). Place potatoes in a 3 qt heavy bottomed pot or saucepan and add milk, cream, garlic, salt and bay leaves. Cover and bring ust to a gentle simmer, then remove lid and cook until potatoes are firm but tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Heat oven to 375 and put a large cookie sheet on bottom rack to catch drips. Position another rack in center of oven.
• Rub inside of large gratin dish with generous amount of butter. Using a slotted spon, transfer about half of the potatoes to the dish, in an even layer. Stir together caramelized onions and bacon/prosciutto adn distribute evenly on top of potatoes (should be enough for a very thin layer). Top with 1/4 of the cheese.
• Put the remaning potatoes in the dish, smooth to an even layer and pour cooking liquid on top. I like to shake on a good dusting of white pepper, but this is optional. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top and bake until top is bubbly and evenly browned.
• Let sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
