Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Slice the potatoes 3mm thick and simmer in salted water for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain. Put the spinach in a colander, pour over freshly boiled water from a kettle to wilt, then refresh under cold running water and squeeze dry.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and soften the onion, stirring, for 8 minutes. Stir through the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more, then remove to a bowl. Add the bacon to the pan and fry until starting to crisp. Add to the onion, then stir through the flour.
  3. Lightly grease a large ovenproof dish (about 2 litres) with butter. Mix the cream with the stock and season.

This looks lovely – could you make some of it in advance? I want an easy ‘bung in the oven’ dish for guests who are visiting on a work night. Advice welcome! thanks

Fiona Logan

Hi Kate! Sure, you could make the dish up until the end of step 4 in advance.

Can you replace the spinach? – I love the reblochon cheese – used it in something else and it was gorgeous – not certain if it will have the same flavour without it!

Hi Debbie, yes of course you can replace the spinach – you could try it with kale, savoy cabbage or any other green, leafy veg. Enjoy!

Pauline Locke

I will definitely make this again!! I used Brie instead of Reblochon, it works just as well.

Hilary Watts
