Method:
Cooks in: 45 minutes • Difficulty: Easy
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/Gas mark 5.
- Tip 450ml Longley’s double cream and 450ml whole milk into a saucepan and bring to simmer.
- Slice your potatoes very finely, around 3-4mm. Add your potatoes to your cream mixture and simmer for 3 minutes longer. Stir gently to separate the potato, stopping it from sinking and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and lay them in a wide shallow ovenproof dish. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, covering fully, whilst leaving some on the top.
- Scatter 100g of grated Vintage Lincolnshire Poacher Cheese over the potatoes and bake for 30 minutes until soft and brown.
- When cooked, remove from the oven and place in a serving bowl or on a plate.
- Finish with some salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
