POTATO CAKE WITH ONION

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
• Prick potatoes in several places with a fork.
• Bake potatoes in a large shallow baking pan until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer to a rack to cool completely, then chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours.
• Peel potatoes, then shred with slicer into a bowl. Coarsely grate onion on large teardrop-shaped holes of a box grater, then wrap in 2 layers of paper towels and squeeze gently to remove excess moisture. Toss together potatoes, onion, salt, and pepper with a fork.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a 7- to 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add potatoes, spreading them evenly and tamping them down with a rubber spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook Rösti until underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and heat until foam subsides, then slide Rösti (browned side up) back into skillet with rubber spatula. Cook until underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 6 wedges.

POTATO, ONION, AND ROSEMARY CAKE

Steps:

• In a large heavy skillet heat the butter and olive oil over low heat. Saute the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. They should be very soft, slightly golden, but not brown.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 10inch round baking dish or pie plate. Arrange a circular layer of overlapping potatoes in the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange a thin layer of onions on top and sprinkle with some of the rosemary. Continue layering until you have used up all the ingredients, finishing with the rosemary. Pour the cream mixture into the dish around the edges so that you don=t disturb the rosemary, drizzling just a little over the top. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for 10 minutes more, until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender. Let cool for 5 minutes then slice into loose wedges and serve.

POTATO-ONION CAKES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in large pot of water just until centers can be pierced with sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Drain. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
• Peel potatoes. Using hand grater, coarsely grate potatoes into large bowl. Gently mix in green onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with cumin and gently mix into potato mixture. Form potatoes into 2 1/2-inch-diameter cakes (about 1 inch thick). Cover and refrigerate until ready to cook. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead.)
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potato cakes in batches and fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side, adding more oil as necessary.

SPRING ONION AND CHEESE POTATO CAKE, TWO WAYS

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and top with enough water to cover by about 1 1/2 inches/4 centimeters. Bring to a boil over medium-high, then lower the heat to medium, cover with a lid and cook until easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain well. Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes (saving the skins for another use), and transfer them to a large bowl.
• While the potatoes are cooking, add half the olive oil to a large (12-inch/30-centimeter) cast-iron skillet or an ovenproof skillet that is at least about 3 inches/8 centimeters deep. Heat over medium. Once hot, add the spring onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly colored, about 6 minutes. If making with peas, add the peas and thyme; if making with peppers, add the peppers, cilantro and harissa. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and plenty of pepper, stir to combine and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius (non-fan).
• Add the cream, eggs and yolk, Parmesan, preserved lemon, turmeric, half the Cheddar and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the potatoes in the large bowl. Use a potato masher to break everything down to a rough mash that is still a bit lumpy. Add the feta and the spring onion mixture and fold everything together.
• Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining olive oil, then transfer the skillet to the oven for about 5 minutes to heat up. Remove from the oven and carefully add the potato mix. Level the top, sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar and a few sprigs of thyme, if using, in the center and return to the oven.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/205 degrees Celsius and bake the cake until golden and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up before serving. Sprinkle with the extra cilantro, and serve warm, spooned directly from the pan.
