POTATO AND ONION CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter six cups of a large (6-cup capacity) muffin tin. Sprinkle each cup with salt, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar; drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon each balsamic and red-wine vinegar. Add a rosemary top to each cup; cover with an onion slice. Set aside.
• Using a mandoline, slice potatoes into matchsticks. In a medium bowl, toss potatoes with chopped rosemary and egg yolk; season with salt and pepper. Divide among cups; dot each with butter.
• Bake until potatoes are tender and edges are browned, about 30 minutes. Run a thin knife around inside of cups to loosen; invert cakes, and serve.

FRIED POTATO AND ONION PATTIES

Steps:

• Place potatoes between paper towels to squeeze out excess moisture.
• Combine all ingredients except oil and mix well.
• Heat 1/8" of oil in a large skillet and drop mixture 1/4 cup at a time into hot oil.
• Press mixture into 3" rounds with the back of a spoon.

WELSH ONION CAKE

Steps:

• Heat about a quarter of the butter in a large pan, set over a medium heat. Sweat the onions with a little salt and the rosemary sprig. Slowly cook on a gentle heat with a lid on for about 20 mins. Remove rosemary and set aside.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Peel the potatoes and immediately cut into wafer-thin slices directly into a bowl containing the rest of the warm butter. Season with salt and pepper. The thinner the potatoes, the better the dish will be. Do not wash them once they are sliced, as you want all of the starch to stick the potatoes together.
• Line an ovenproof, non-stick frying pan with a round of baking parchment. Layer potatoes neatly into the dish in a circle, slightly overlapping. The bottom of the pan will become the presentation side. Continue to pile in half of the potatoes, then add the melted onions. On top of the onions continue with the potatoes until all used up. Set the pan over a medium heat and gently begin to colour the bottom of the dish for 5 mins, then transfer to the oven and cook for 45-50 mins until the potatoes are soft.
• Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 10 mins. Invert onto a serving plate, then slice into wedges with a very sharp knife.

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.

• 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.

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.
