Onion Cake is a traditional side dish in Wales. There are many different versions of this dish, with all sorts of family recipes that use specific varieties of potatoes and herb combinations. Some add a little lamb to help soften and flavor the potatoes, while some prefer adding cheese (as in this recipe). The variety of potato used for this recipe can effect baking time; floury potatoes will usually bake within an hour, but waxy potatoes often take longer to bake. It's best to use Caerphilly cheese if possible. But cheddar can be used if need be, as it's similar in taste and texture.
