Easy Potato Recipe
Potato & Vegetable au Gratin

This extremely easy potato recipe makes a truly perfect side dish for almost any dinner party entrée. It takes very little time to prepare yet is absolutely delicious! It can either be served directly from the baking dish or alternatively cut into slices or rounds using a pastry cutter. It also makes an excellent base for serving a classic meat, poultry or fish dish sliced and placed directly on top.

Gourmet food........the EASY way!

Potato and Vegetable au Gratin

INGREDIENTS
Serves 4

12oz/350g peeled potatoes
6oz/150g peeled butternut squash
1 garlic clove, finely chopped or crushed (optional)
3oz/80g finely sliced leek
salt & freshly milled black pepper
1/3 cup/80ml heavy (double) cream
1oz/30g melted butter

METHOD

For this quick and easy recipe you will need a medium size ovenproof baking or casserole dish.

  • Preheat the oven to 360F/180C.

  • Finely slice the potato & butternut squash.

  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream, garlic, melted butter and seasoning. Then add all of the sliced vegetables and combine well.

  • Transfer the ingredients to the baking dish and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and firm.

For an added touch of flavor, I sometimes sprinkle some grated cheese over the potato mix before baking.

This gourmet potato dish would make a truly perfect accompaniment to
Duck Confit with a Port & Sour Cherry Sauce.
