Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make classic French meat in the oven with potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take pork without bones. Peel and rinse the potatoes. Take one medium-sized onion or two small ones. The cheese can be any kind, as long as it is of high quality and melts well. You can make your own mayonnaise for this dish. At the end of the recipe there is a link to a catalog of homemade mayonnaise recipes.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the peeled potatoes into thin slices and dry. Then pour a little refined vegetable oil on it and stir until the oil covers all the potatoes. Thanks to this oil film, the potatoes will not dry out during baking, will not lose moisture and will bake well.

Step 3

Step 3
For baking, take any heat-resistant form. Grease the bottom and sides of the pan with vegetable oil and place the chopped potatoes in one layer. Add a little salt and pepper. Using a pastry brush, brush the potato layer with half the mayonnaise.

Step 9

Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater. Sprinkle it with the final layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 40-60 minutes until the potatoes are soft. After 30 minutes, cover the top of the pan with foil to prevent the cheese from burning. Bake for about 30 minutes more. There is no need to seal tightly with foil. Just place on top so the moisture can evaporate. The times are approximate; for more information on how ovens work, read the article at the end of this recipe.
