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 cake is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

The flavors in this cake are all wrong. It's too sweet and the onions are overpowering.

This cake is way too oily for my taste. I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I loved this cake! The flavors were well-balanced and the crust was perfectly crispy.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the batter and it was delicious.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add more cheese. Otherwise, it's perfect!
