INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 200 C (390F).

  • Take off the heat and arrange your potato slices on top in an even layer. (if you are using a normal skillet, transfer the onions to an oven-safe dish first then arrange the potatoes on top). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Cover loosely with foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until softened.

  • Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl or jug. Taste and adjust according to your preference; if you like more acidity add more lemon, more sweetness add more honey etc.
