The best tasting fried potatoes I know!

Peel the potatoes and cut into slices about 5 mm thick. Gently fry the onion in the oil and butter in a shallow pan. When it is pale golden and soft, add the potatoes, a little salt and ground pepper, the garlic, and thyme, and mix everything together gently. The potatoes should be coated all over with the oil and herbs. Reduce the heat to as low as possible and fry the potatoes slowly, covered, turning occasionally. After 40-50 minutes, they will be golden brown and soft. Cut the cheese into thin slices, place them on the potatoes, and cover the pan. After a few minutes, it will melt. Serves 2 as a main course, perhaps with a fresh salad on the side, or 4 as a side dish, perhaps with grilled ham or cold chicken.
