Preparation steps
1.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Coat a baba pan or fluted cake pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Dust greased pan with breadcrumbs, tapping out any excess crumbs.
2.
Boil potatoes until fork tender or about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; sauté onions until softened.
3.
Mash potatoes well; mix in onions. In a small bowl beat together butter, egg yolks, cheese, flour and half and half, season with salt and pepper; add to potato mixture. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until peaks form. Fold into the potato mixture.
4.
Spoon batter into prepared pan and cover top with aluminum foil. Bake for about 40 minutes, remove foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert and unmold the cake. Serve warm with or without a meal.
