Cooking a delicious and savory Potato and Caramelised Onion Cake can be a delightful experience. This dish brings together the earthy flavors of potatoes with the rich sweetness of caramelized onions, finished with the creamy notes of butter and the umami of Parmesan cheese. Perfect as a side dish or a main course, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends.
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.
