This is a great side dish with tons of flavor and is easy to prepare. The smell is fantastic! (No crust to make.) Great served with chicken on the spit and a tossed green salad. Sliced potatoes and onions cooked in sour cream and cheese of your choice. I hope you try this side dish! Enjoy!

How To Make bonnie's blue ribbon potato and onion pie

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prep the potatoes and onions by slicing them thinly.

2
Spray a 10-inch glass pie dish with Pam. Scatter 2 tsp of garlic on the bottom of the Pam-sprayed pie dish.
3
Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper).
4
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly.
5
Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, salt, and pepper.
6
Add the milk mixture evenly over the top.
7
Add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
8
Cover the pie with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve.

Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I have used Colby Jack cheese, Fontina, Gruyere cheese, and cheddar, but I like Fontina and Colby Jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream, and 2% milk which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your heart's content. This is a fun recipe for that!
