It is hard to apply weights to this recipe, as nanny and mum never used to weigh anything, so I have also added quantities as well as weights) - Serves 2 as a main meal and 4 as an accompaniment.
Ingredients
- 30g (1oz) butter
- 1 tablespoon rapeseed oil (or vegetable oil)
- 450g to 500g potatoes (3 to 4 large potatoes)
- 1 large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
- 115g to 165g (4ozs to 6ozs) Cheshire Cheese, (grated)
- Salt and white pepper
Note

Directions
| Step 1 | Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. |
| Step 2 | Melt the butter and oil in a heavy frying pan, my nanny used to use an old cast iron pan and the heavier the pan the better. |
| Step 3 | Layer the potatoes, onions and cheese in the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Make sure you end up with a layer of potatoes and some cheese on top. |
| Step 4 | Place a sheet of greaseproof paper on top of the potatoes and then a lid that fits or covers the dish snugly. |
| Step 5 | Cook over a very low heat for 20 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes and onions are soft. |
| Step 6 | Place under a pre-heated grill and cook until the top is golden brown and bubbling, then serve straight from the pan with bread, seasonal greens or salad. |
