Potato Bakes

Prep Time: 20mins
Cook Time: 60mins
Serves: 6-12 (dependent on size of your ramekins)

Ingredients: 

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, for the ramekins
• ¼ leek, finely diced
• ½ small onion, finely diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 6 sprigs of thyme
• ¼ tsp all-purpose flour
• 1kg small potatoes, unpeeled
• Salt flakes & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp heavy cream

Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously brush 6-12 ramekins with butter.
2. Sauté the diced leek and onions in olive oil until softened. Set aside to cool.
3. Combine the cheddar, parmesan, thyme, and flour in a large bowl. With a shape knife or mandolin, thinly slice the potatoes into rounds roughly 3-4mm thick. Add to the cheese mixture. Add 1 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper and toss to combine.
4. Divide half of the potato-cheese mixture among the prepared ramekins, filling them about halfway. Arrange the potato slices so they go to the edge of the ramekins. Top with half of the cream. Repeat with the remaining potato-cheese mixture and cream.
5. Transfer the ramekins to a flat baking tray, cover each with baking paper & then foil and bake until the liquid is bubbly, and the potatoes begin to soften but are not completely cooked through, about 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C, uncover the ramekins and bake until the potatoes are tender.
