Instructions

Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, then drain and mash.
In a pan over medium heat, heat olive oil and butter, then add sliced onions. Cook until caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
Add thyme, salt, and pepper to the caramelized onions.
Mix the caramelized onions into the mashed potatoes.
Stir in the milk or cream and half the Gruyere cheese.
Transfer to a baking dish, top with remaining Gruyere cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with low-fat milk.
