Cheddar and beer 'stovies'

• tiempo total: 20 minutes

Ingredientes

300g of cheddar, grated

2 large onions, roughly chopped

1kg potatoes, peeled and cut into approximately 2.5cm cubes

500ml of beer, I used Cheddar Ales Goat’s Leap IPA

25g of unsalted butter

1 tbsp of olive oil

salt

black pepper

Instrucciones

Melt the butter in a large saucepan with the oil and fry the onions until soft and golden. Add the potatoes and continue to fry for a few minutes until they slightly catch and go a little brown. Season generously and pour over the beer

When the beer is hot, stir in handfuls of cheese until melted, reserving enough to scatter over the top later (approx. 50g). Leave the stovies to simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, stirring every now and then. If it is starting to look dry, add a little water, stock or more beer

Once cooked, taste for seasoning and transfer into a heatproof dish. Scatter with the remaining cheese before placing under a hot grill to brown
