Steps

35/40 mins

1

Preheat the oven to 220°c fan.
2

Boil a large pot of water, seasoned with a generous pinch of salt.
3

Add the potatoes, bring the pot back to the boil and cook for 15 minutes. Or until fork tender.
4

Meanwhile cover a flat tray with greaseproof paper. Put on some thinly sliced red onion in 12 separate places on the tray. Then cover the onion with cheese and sprinkle over the paprika, chilli flakes and dried herbs to taste.
5

Once the potatoes are done boiling, drain the water. Then put one potato on each cheese portion. Then get a square of greaseproof paper and a glass, place the square of paper over each of the potatoes and use the glass to squash them down until they're flat. Don't do this without the greaseproof paper because the potatoes will stick to the bottom of the glass.
6

Use a spatula or knife to separate the potatoes into squares and cover the squares with more cheese.
7

Bake for 15/20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
