I learned how to make this classic dish in culinary school. It’s comforting and simple to prepare. I like to switch up the herbs to give it a different flavor every time. The side is fantastic for casual dinners but also elegant enough for any holiday. —James Schend, Dairy Freed

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
4 medium russet potatoes (about 1-1/2 pounds), peeled and thinly sliced
6 tablespoons butter, divided
1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 2-1/2 quarts water and salt to a boil. Add potatoes. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until potatoes are slightly cooked but still al dente, about 3 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove onion; set aside. In same skillet, melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Add potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Add onion, rosemary and pepper; toss to combine. Cook until heated through.
