Upside Down Sweet Potato and Onion Tart

A sweet potato tart with onions, rosemary and cheddar cheese. It’s not a tart in the traditional sense being that it lacks a flour crust. Sliced onions are used instead.

The tart is baked with onions on the bottom and alternating layers of thinly sliced sweet potatoes and cheddar cheese. Once cooked it’s flipped out onto a plate so the golden, caramelized onions are on top and the creamy potatoes are underneath.

With cheese oozing out of every nook and cranny and crusty, crispy edges to covet, it’s altogether delicious. Potatoes never let me down.

Potatoes never let anyone down. Everyone loves them and their versatility knows no end.

By using a different cheese, herb or potato and you can turn this into a whole new dish.

Toss in crispy bacon crumbles or chopped ham. Serve with sour cream and chives for a baked potato version. Or how about a soft, fried egg over top?!

Hello leftovers for breakfast. If there are any.
