Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelised. This process should take about 20-30 minutes. Reduce heat if they start to brown too quickly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- While the onions are caramelising, peel and thinly slice the potatoes. A mandoline slicer can be very helpful for this task to ensure even slices.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or a similar-sized baking dish with some of the melted butter.
- Layer one-third of the potato slices at the bottom of the greased pan. Brush a small amount of the melted butter over the potato layer.
- Sprinkle a portion of the grated Parmesan cheese over the potato layer.
- Spread half of the caramelised onions over the cheese layer.
- Repeat with another third of the potatoes, more melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and the remaining caramelised onions.
- Finish with the final layer of potatoes. Brush the remaining melted butter over the top layer and sprinkle the last of the Parmesan cheese evenly.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Allow the potato and caramelised onion cake to cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish or a vegetarian main course.
Tips:
- Choose a starchy variety of potatoes, like Russets, for a better texture.
- Thinly slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Be patient with caramelizing the onions – low and slow cooking brings out their sweetness.
- Use a mandoline slicer for consistent and thin potato slices.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Make sure the pan is well-greased to prevent the cake from sticking.
With a perfect blend of flavors and textures, the Potato and Caramelised Onion Cake is a versatile dish that can elevate any meal.
