Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
  2. Butter a shallow baking dish, put in a layer of potato then add a scattering of onion and season. Repeat until all the vegetables are used, finishing with a layer of potato.
  3. Pour in the stock and cover with a sheet of foil or greaseproof paper, sealing around the edges. Bake for 45 minutes, remove the foil and return to the top of the oven for 15 minutes until the top is golden.

Slicing vegetables

The easiest way to finely slice the potatoes and onion is with a mandolin; otherwise use a sharp knife or the slicing blade on a food processor. If your kids aren't onion-friendly then chop it very finely so it melts into the dish. Leave the skins on the potatoes for added vitamins and minerals.

    I made this last night and served it with a roast leg of lamb. It was great, worked really well with the gravy. I didn't change a thing, the quantities were great as well.

    Why can't I print this recipe to include the ingredients please. I am sure it will taste good but not unless I have the amounts needed.

    Delicious! We found the bottom layer of potatoes stuck to the dish so we'll butter it more next time!

    I just love simple, yet impressive dishes like this. I scaled it down for just two and it worked perfectly. The perfect accompaniment to my Boeuf Bouguignon or Coq au Vin. This recipe even uses the same temperature and time. However, the mention of the mandolin worried me, as I consider these things downright dangerous. Just use a sharp knife. Uneven slices are much better for a peasant dish like this, anyway.

    Gorgeous dish, and can be adapted with any extra's you have in the house. I have made it numerous times adding things like cooked bacon and other herbs. Makes a healthy change to the white sauces usually used for dauphenoise etc.
