Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced into rings
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • sea salt

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 415° F.
  • Slice the onion, break it into rings, and, in a strainer, rinse the rings under cold water.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the garlic, and set aside.
  • Place a layer of potato on the bottom of an 8" springform pan, followed by layers of onion, butter, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Grind some black pepper and a little sea salt.
  • Repeat the layers until you have used up all the ingredients, keeping a bit of butter to drizzle on the top.
  • Finish with potato and then drizzle on a little butter.
  • Spoon the milk over the top.
  • Place the springform pan on a baking sheet with a lip or flat pizza pan with a lip.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
  • Check in 45 minutes; if the top is getting too brown, cover with foil.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Unclip the sides of the pan and remove, and transfer to a plate for serving.
