Category: Potato

1/4 cup olive oil
8 medium potatoes (about 3 lbs) peeled and
thinly sliced
2 medium Granny Smith apples, cored,
quartered and thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for
garnish
1 1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup finely grated Jarlsberg
Butter, for greasing foil

Preheat oven to 425F. Coat inside of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with olive oil; set aside.
In a large bowl, toss together potatoes, apples, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Spread half the potato mixture in skillet, scatter with cheese, then top remaining potato mixture. Cover with a piece of lightly buttered foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and continue to bake until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Increase oven to broil and cook until top begins to crisp, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Cool slightly before serving.
