Swiss Chard and Potato Skillet Cake

This isn't really a "cake" so to speak. It sure is yummy, though. I got some swiss chard in my produce box this week, so I made this for dinner tonight. Potatoes layered with swiss chard, provelone cheese, onions and garlic and baked in a skillet...what could be better than that?

Ingredients:

1 tbsp. butter
1tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
4-6 small/medium russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 lg bunch of swiss chard, cleaned and cut into large, leafy chunks
2 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
8-10 slices of provelone cheese
salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add white wine and let evaporate. Turn off burner and remove onion/garlic mixture from pan. In the same pan, put down a layer of the potatoes. Salt and pepper the potatoes. Add a layer of the sauteed onion/garlic mixture. Add a layer of swiss chard. Add a layer of cheese. Repeat layering process. Place in 350 degree oven and let bake for 20-30 minutes, until cheese is golden brown and potatoes are cooked.

Enjoy!
