Toss potato slices and chopped onions with salt and pepper; spread 1/3 of the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the Gruyère cheese over potatoes, then add another layer of potatoes. Sprinkle on remaining Gruyère cheese, then layer remaining potatoes on top. Mix water and wine together; pour over potatoes in the dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Caramel for Apples
Awesome caramel for dipping apples, bananas etc. Great for topping on ice cream too.
Granny's Mini Pecan Pies
You, too, can make pecan pies, just like Granny's mini pecan pies, using this easy homemade pie dough and a simple pecan pie filling. If you prefer to make a single 9-inch pie, use half the pie dough. Prep and bake as directed in a deep-dish pan.
Frozen Vanilla Custard
This frozen custard recipe makes a rich and creamy, French-style ice cream with eggs, heavy cream, milk, and pure vanilla extract. Although traditionally served soft in cones, I prefer to freeze it until firm, then scoop it.
