  • 450 g potatoes, sliced
  • pinch of salt
  • 150 ml double cream
  • 90 ml semi-skimmed milk
  • 100 g cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200ºc / Gas 6.  Peel the potatoes, then using a food processor or a mandolin, slice the potatoes so they are even.  Bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the potato slices for 8-10mins, or until tender.  Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the double cream and milk. 
  • Grate the cheese and set aside.
  • In a shallow baking dish, place a layer of potatoes, then sprinkle some cheese, salt and pepper and then repeat until all the potatoes and cheese have been used and ending with cheese on top.
  • Carefully pour the milk mixture over the top.  Bake in the oven for around 20mins or until golden brown on top.  Serve hot.
