Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 small bunch fresh thyme, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 (16- to 18-ounce) packages fresh, shelf-stable, or frozen potato gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
- 6 ounces Gruyère cheese, grated
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon balsamic or sherry vinegar
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch broiler-safe skillet over medium heat. Add one package of gnocchi and cook undisturbed until golden-brown, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the second package.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, half the thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until onions are golden and reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
- Pour wine over caramelized onions, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in vinegar.
- Return gnocchi to the skillet, stirring to mix. Spread evenly, top with grated Gruyère, and broil until cheese is bubbly and browned, 4-6 minutes. Garnish with remaining thyme and black pepper.
