  Delicious, quick and easy to put together. I served with salmon which I roasted alongside the bake for the last 20 minutes.

  absolutley gorgeous. so easy to make. not sure if i did something wrong with the spinach but didnt end up with very much after defrosting and squeezing out the water although this didnt make it any less yummy.

  delicious and will def make it again. I did it with the sweet potatoes and single cream and it was great. I think it would be good with chicken or gammon and leeks as well!

  would this be ok to prepare it ahead right up to the stage of putting it in the oven . Then pop it in the oven when im ready for it.

  I used normal potatoes and fresh spinach and it came out lovely. I also left the garlic (I crushed it) and thyme in the cream.

  Very tasty, replaced the cream with creme fraiche and left the garlic & thyme in, also added a dash of milk becasue the creme fraiche is thicker than cream. Served with steak and a spicy sauce.

  Delicious! I made this last night and used half milk and half double cream (added a bay leaf and half an onion to the infusion) and added a sliced chilli and crumbled feta cheese to the spinach as I find sweet potato too sweet without a salty contrast. Mixing the milk with the cream meant you get the richness of the cream without the heaviness and it doesn't clash with the salty feta. The 850g is roughly 4 medium sized sweet potatoes (I sliced them in the food processor and it took minutes to prep). Had it with marinated griddled lamb steaks and a green salad. My OH described it as very moreish and promptly finished off the lot!

  Good - I ran out of sweet tatties and had to use some grated potato.

  Absolutely loved this! Used rosemary instead of thyme and added a small sliced onion in the spinach layer. When I make this again will probably look at replacing the cream so it has a bit less saturated fat!

  This was delicious! I layered in some ricotta cheese and bacon with the spinach to get some salt to balance out the flavours. Sprinkled with parmesan on the top this was amazing! Had with rocket salad on it's own and me and a friend finished the whole thing off very easily!

  Made this at the weekend - will definitely be making again. Flavours work well together. I prepared it a couple of hours ahead & then cooked it when ready. Leftovers tasted just as good the next day (if not better!).

  Very nice - made it twice already! I also crumbled feta cheese over the spinach layer to counterbalance the sweetness which worked well. I used creme fraiche too and left the garlic and herbs in - in fact the second time I made it I didn't even cook the cream before spreading it on the pie and it worked just as well. Cheers!

  Quite easy to make but doesn't taste great - just OK. Also - there was too much potato I think - lots of it didn't cook properly. Maybe par-boil? Or maybe cut the slices v v thin. Also - the cream kinda curdled and made it look a bit weird :S We sub-ed the spinach for leeks as well :) And doesn't serve 4 if it's all your having. Serves 3...or 2 if you're hungry.

  This was so easy (especially when using a food processor toslice the sweet potato) and so yummy, it will be on my regular list. I used 1/2 fat creme fraiche let down with a little milk instead of the sigle cream and it worked really well.

  Found this when looking for Lamb chop recipes. Lovely meal and lots of scope for mixing with other veggie and meat combos.

  I've made this a few times and its really nice, but we have found that you really do need the lamb chops to compliment it.

  This was a delicious meal! It really was comfort food. I was bad and made it with double cream and more cheddar than was called for, but it was a hit with the family; and we didn't add meat to the meal. I would use this as a side dish to take along to my Mother-in-laws's for Easter or Thanksgiving. I think you could set up the layers, then bring the grated cheese and the cream sauce along in separate containers--assemble and bake when you get there.

  very tasty, even though i overcooked it lol i used normal potatoes and used a foodprocesser to quickly slice them all, however mistakenly used the finer blade so they were wafer thin so cooked quicker. i also used dried thyme and grated garlic so i didn't need to sieve, and added a sprinkling of cheese after the 1st layer which was nice and melted when eating. overall very tasty, something abit different for those who like potato dauphinoise
