Ingredients: 5-6 potatoes (sliced thinly, around 1 kg / 2 lbs, starchy potatoes are best); 1 onion (sliced in thin half moons); 2 garlic (chopped finely); 300 g cream (heavy cream or whipping cream is best, sub sour cream); 2 cups tasty cheese (grated or shredded pizza cheese mix works well); Salt and pepper (to taste, between each layer)

Austrailian

In a large baking dish, line and layer half the potato slices.

Sprinkle half the chopped garlic and onion slices over the top then give a generous crack of salt and pepper over the top. Evenly pour over half the cream.

Now repeat the steps, layering the remaining potato slices and sprinkling over the remaining garlic and onion on top. Pour over the remaining cream, then top with the shredded cheese. . Garnish with an extra crack of salt and pepper if you like.

Pop it in the oven and bake for around 1 - 1.5 hours. If your oven browns your cheesy top quickly, add a layer of aluminium foil over the top. Test with a fork or chopstick and remove from the oven when potato is soft.

Top tip: If you’re dishing this up alongside a bbq, and the meat isn’t quite ready, top with aluminium foil to stop it over cooking and drying out then switch the oven to off or “keep warm” until everything is ready to be dished up.
