Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, turmeric, cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic.
- Step 3
Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes in the dish, overlapping them slightly. Sprinkle with half of the spice mixture. Cover with the onions. Layer the remaining potatoes over the onions. Sprinkle with the remaining spice mixture, and pour the cream over the top.
- Step 4
Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly, cut into rectangles and serve. (The potatoes can be made ahead and reheated in a low oven, covered with aluminum foil.)

Substituted equivalent amount of garam masala for spices mentioned. Guests liked it but I thought it was bland. Next time I would use same amount of table salt rather than kosher salt.
