Scrub potato, and pat dry with paper towel. Cut the potato lengthwise into

Combine potato slices and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently.
Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray; using your finger, trace a
12-inch circle on baking sheet. Overlap the potato slices, spoke-fashion,
in circle. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until tender; set aside.

Wrap the handle of a 10-inch skillet with aluminum foil. Coat skillet with
cooking spray; add olive oil, and place over medium heat until hot. Add
leek; saute 5 minutes or until tender. Remove leek from skillet; toss with
cheeses and dried thyme, and set aside. Melt butter in skillet over medium
heat; sprinkle sugar over butter. Arrange Vidalia, red, and small onions,
cut sides up, in skillet, and top with leek. Sprinkle vinegar, gingerroot,
and garlic over onion mixture.

Cover and cook over medium-low heat 20 minutes, shaking pan occasionally to
loosen onions from skillet bottom. Uncover and cook an additional 8
minutes. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until onions are
tender. Remove from oven; shake skillet to loosen onions from bottom of
skillet.

Place potato crust (in sections) on top of onion mixture in skillet. Bake
at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until potato is lightly browned. Remove

onto a serving platter. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 wedge).
