We had a cheap and filling late lunch today, a cheesy potato bake served with Aldi sausages and vegetables. As we were going to the cinema I wanted to keep it simple. This is how you make it.
900g potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion, halved and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Heaped tsp dried rosemary
Heaped tsp dried thyme
Large handful fresh parsley, chopped finely
1/2 pint milk
Salt and pepper
100g grated cheese
Place the spuds, onions and garlic with the milk in a large saucepan and bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in all of the herbs and season well. Grease a large casserole dish and pour the potato mixture in. Cover with the grated cheese and bake at about 180C for 45 minutes. Eat as an accompaniment to sausages or as a vegetarian main with some vegetables.
This cheap and easy cheesy potato bake is also vegetarian and gluten free.
We saw the Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything tonight. What a great story and an excellent film. I really recommend it if you can get to see it!
Now I know just what I want for dinner tonight, many thanks. I will tweak it a bit though and add sweetcorn and a chopped red pepper to the potato mix to give me a one pot wonder.
Looks delish, but a couple of questions: In the first step, do you add water to cover the potatoes and onions and garlic, and then drain it all? (I don’t see how it’ll boil unless you’re adding water; maybe you’re just sauteeing it?) And I’m assuming you put the milk in when you pour it into the casserole dish? Thanks! PS: I agree, excellent film, terrific actor!
You cook it in the milk – sorry I forgot that bit:-)
