Steam the potatoes then slice them to just £1 coin thickness.
Fry off the sliced onions in butter and/or oil, add chilli flakes and the pancetta or bacon lardons. When that is cooked add the chopped garlic cloves, pepper and fry for a minute, add the wine and reduce. Off the heat add the cream.
Line an ovenproof dish with 2/3 of the chopped potatoes. Layer in the onion and cream mix. Top with remaining 1/3 of potatoes and chopped cheese.
Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
Serve with a side salad for four people.
