serves 6

500g (1 lb) large floury potatoes, scrubbed
25 mL (3/4 fl oz) oil
25 g (3/4 oz) unsalted butter
1 onion, thinly sliced

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
   
• Boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water. Reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and cool completely in the fridge.
   
• Peel the potatoes and slice into fine sticks with the mandolin.
   
• Heat the oil and butter in an oven-proof non-stick skillet. Sauté the onion until soft and transparent. Add the potato and season well.
   
• Stir for a few minutes, then press down gently with a wide spatula to form a thick, flat pancake. Increase the heat to high, and brown the first side.
   
• Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then loosen the pancake, turn it out onto a large plate, and return to the pan, browned-side up. Do not break the pancake. Bake for 10 minutes. Serve.
