Sardine Bake

A very satisfying dish that is very quick.

• * Butter
• * 2-3 medium waxy potatoes, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
• * 1 small onion, or half a medium onion, finely sliced
• * Salt and pepper, to taste
• * 1 tin (about 120g) of sardines in oil, drained
• * Dash or two of milk

1. Preheat oven to 180�C. Then, in a small frying pan melt a little butter and gently fry onions until softened. Add potatoes and fry for a few minutes longer. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.

2. Grease a small gratin dish or oven-proof dish with a little butter then tip in half of the potato and onion mixture. Top with sardines, then tip over remaining potato mixture. Add a dash or two of milk to the dish, then cover (check if covered with foil) and bake for 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Uncover and bake for a further 5 minutes, until golden on top.
