Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c/fan160c /gas 4. Lightly butter a shallow 2 litre ovenproof dish. Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can, or use a mandolin if you have one, leaving the peel on. Layer the potatoes in the buttered dish, seasoning between layers.
  2. Dissolve the stock cube in 500ml boiling water and pour over the potatoes. Dot with butter and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour or until the potatoes are tender. Remove the foil and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for a further 15 minutes, until golden.
