Potato cake in the pan: the recipe for a really tasty dish

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly. Place the slices in salted water and let them sit to remove excess starch.
2. Slice the onions and sauté in olive oil until golden and soft. Season with salt.
3. Grate the cheese and cut the frankfurters into slices.
4. Grease a baking pan with butter. Layer the potato slices, onions, frankfurters, and cheese in the pan, repeating layers as desired.
5. Bake in a preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, flipping carefully if necessary to cook both sides evenly.
