Teisen Nionod -- Welsh Onion Cake                        

This is an old Welsh recipe for a potato and onion dish that is baked like a cake in a slow cooking oven.  Serves eight.

7 medium sized potatoes, peeled and sliced in thin rounds
3 medium sized onions, finely chopped
4 oz. butter or margarine
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 300°.  Dry the potato slices in a towel to remove excess moisture.  Grease a loaf tin or a cake tin and place potatoes and onions in layers, beginning and ending with a layer of potatoes.  Dot each layer with a little butter (also top layer of potatoes) and season each layer with a little pepper and salt.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.  Remove the cover the last 1/2 hour for the cake to brown.  Turn onto an ovenproof dish and place under grill (broiler) for a couple of minutes before serving.
