PAN HAGGERTY

1 lb (500g) potatoes; 1/2 lb (250g) onions; 1 oz (30g) cooking fat or lard; 4 oz (115g) grated cheese; pepper and salt.

Peel potatoes and onions and slice thinly.  Heat the fat in a frying-pan and put in a layer of potatoes, then a layer of onions, then a layer of grated cheese. Season each layer with pepper and salt. Cover with a lid and let it all fry gently until cooked through (about 40 minutes), then brown the haggerty under a grill, and serve straight from the pan.  Serve as a main dish, or with fried bacon.
