Crispy smashed baby potatoes are topped with caramelized onions and Gruyère for a bite-sized spin on the beloved classic French onion soup.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 2 thyme sprigs
  • 1/3 c. dry white wine
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lb. small yellow potatoes, such as baby Yukon Gold
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
  • 4 oz. Gruyère, shredded
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for serving
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are jammy and deep golden brown, 35 to 50 minutes.

  2. 2

    Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 450°. In a medium pot, cover potatoes with 1" cold water; generously with 2 Tbsp. kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until a paring knife slides easily into center (potatoes should be tender but not mushy), about 15 minutes.
