Does enough for about 2 people:

Chop 4 medium potatoes into slices and parboil.
Layer in an oven dish with frozen broccoli, frozen white fish cut in to chunks, topping with a layer of potatoes.
Pour over cheese sauce and sprinkle on grated cheese.
Bake in oven (gas 6) for ~20 mins.

Cheese sauce (if you need it):
To 300ml milk, add 2 tbsp plain flour and whisk until smooth.
Add 2 tbsp butter/marg and bring to the boil.
Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add 1 tsp mustard and 75g of grated cheese. Stir so all cheese and mustard is mixed in.

Hope that's OK. Feel free to substitute broccoli for cauliflower or spinach and the fish for tuna or ham/bacon.

Ta sounds scrummy!

In my French recipe book there is a recipe for something similar. What they do is bring the potatoes to the boil in milk - later use for the sauce - then leave them for 5 - 10 minutes.

This gives them a lovely creamy texture. Sometimes the milk can 'catch' so I heat the milk to nearly boiling in the microwave first, then pour it over the sliced potatoes in the pan and keep it over a low heat. Keep an eye on it, it is well worth the effort. :drool:

Sorry ubamother - should have read the whole thread first - doh!

i like the heating the milk in the micro first idea - never thought of that - penni-saving as well probabli. if u are short of milk u can do a half milk/half vegetable stock mix - won't be quite as rich, but veri good

Here you go:

Cheese and potato pie

Savoury crumble - cook some veg and use this topping, then cook the lot in the oven.

AInsley Harriott does a really nice root veg crumble. I'm in bed just now but I'll dig it out later and type it up here for you.

Great coincidence. DS and I were looking at the weekly mealplans last night and he say cheese and potato pie and thought it sounded nice (you know kids for dinner ideas when you ask them so I obviously jumped on this)

I might be being a bit daft but I can't get the link to work. Am I being computer-rubbish again?

Thanks in advance
