Potato Layers

• When I made liver with potato topping, everyone said how much they liked the potatoes (as well as the liver of course).
• So I have made a dish with just the potatoes.
• It is similar to the French recipe for Boulangère potatoes.

Ingredients

• 2 onions thinly sliced
• 150ml of chicken stock
• 500g of starchy potatoes
• Butter & sunflower oil for frying
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• Salt & pepper

Method 

• Butter a rectangular ovenproof dish
• Pre-heat the oven to GM4 – 180°C
• Fry the onions in the butter & oil mixture till golden.
• Cut the potatoes into thin slices.
• Par-boil them for 5 minutes in the milk and water.
• Remove the potatoes from the liquid.
• Place a layer of potatoes in the dish.
• Season as you go along.
• Place the onions on top.
• Stir slightly.
• Finish with a layer of potatoes.
• Pour the stock into the dish.
• Cover the dish with foil.
• Bake for an hour.
• Remove the foil.
• Dot the butter on top.
• Return to the oven for 30 – 45 minutes.
