Welsh Onion Cake image

This is Welsh comfort food at its best - layers of sliced potatoes and soft onions cooked together until sticky and golden.

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c unsalted butter, melted and warm
1 lb onion, either sliced or finely chopped
1 rosemary sprig
2 lb potatoes, thinly sliced (desiree or maris piper recommended)
2 tsp fresh thyme, optional
salt and pepper
4 oz caerphilly cheese, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Heat about 1/4 of the butter in a large pan, set over medium heat.
  • 2. Sweat the onions with a little salt and the rosemary sprig. Slowly cook on a gentle heat with a lid on for about 20 minutes. Remove rosemary and set aside.
  • 3. Grease an oven proof dish and on the bottom of the dish, place a thick layer of potatoes, well seasoned with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Add a layer of onions.
  • 5. Dot each layer with butter and thyme (if using), and repeat this again, or until the dish is full, ending with a layer of potatoes.
  • 6. The top layer should also be dotted with butter, using more than given above, if necessary. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in a moderate oven (350F.) for about one and a half hours, removing the lid for the last half hour.
  • 7. Note: The variety of potato makes it difficult to give a precise cooking time: very floury ones can cook in 1 hour where as waxy ones will take longer. If using the cheese, sprinkle a little bit on each layer.

This onion cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.
