20g butter, plus more for greasing
1 small onion, or ½ medium onion, peeled and finely sliced
2-3 medium-sized waxy potatoes (about 400g), peeled and cut into matchsticks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
120g tin sardines in oil, drained
A dash or two of milk
Heat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5. In a small frying pan, melt the butter over a medium-low heat and gently fry the onion until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes, fry for a few minutes, stirring, and season.
Grease a small gratin dish or oven-proof dish with a little butter, then tip in half of the potato and onion mixture. Top with the sardines, then tip over remaining potato mixture. Trickle over a little milk, cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover and bake for a further five to 10 minutes, until golden on top.
This is really bloody nice, really cheap and can be made up with ease.
