Creamy potato bake with Cheddar and Gruyere cheese
1 hour 40 min
This potato bake is great as a main dish or a side to a steak. Great with salad or grilled vegetables as well. You can use any leftovers in your fridge, I tried it with wafer thin ham, broad beans from my garden, celery stalks, peppers, turkey leftovers. The good thing is to use good quality cheese, in this recipe I used Tesco Finest Reserve Swiss Gruyere which I was able to try for free through the Orchard at Tesco and Cathedral City Mature Cheddar.
