Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 800 g floury potatoes peeled
  • 30 g butter plus extra for greasing the dish
  • 2 small brown onions peeled and thinly sliced
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary very finely chopped
  • 300 ml vegetable stock
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 60 g parmesan finely grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C Fan. Lightly grease an ovenproof dish with butter (we used 21x21cm ovenproof dish).
  • Prepare the stock and set it aside (no need to keep it hot).
  • Slice the potatoes into thin slices (about 3mm thick).
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan on low heat. Add the sliced onion and finely chopped rosemary. Stirring occasionally, sautee the onions for 7-8 minutes, until soft, but not browned.
  • Place a single layer of potatoes (slightly overlapping) to the base of the greased ovenproof dish. Season with a little salt and pepper. Add a layer of onions on top.
  • Repeat with the layers again and again, and finish with a layer of potatoes.
  • Place a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish, season with salt and black pepper, and then follow with a layer of the onion mixture.
  • Pour the vegetable stock over the potatoes. Scatter the grated parmesan on top and place the potatoes in the oven for 55-60 minutes. Potato slices should be soft and the top layer golden brown.
