  • fresh sage leaves ½ cup of torn fresh leaves

Instructions

  4. Add some chopped leeks, cheese, 2 tablespoons of the yoghurt, sage and chives
  5. Add another layer of potatoes
  6. Add some yogurt onto the top of the potatoes
  7. Add more potatoes and push down to keep layers flat, then add herbs
  8. Stand some more potatoes up around the edge
  9. Add another layer of potatoes, leeks, cheese, yogurt, sage and chives
  10. Add another layer of potatoes and yogurt
  11. If you have not used all of the potatoes yet continue to layer, ending with cheese on top, a handful of sage and chives. Push down hard
  12. Season with salt and pepper cover the dish with the lid and place in the oven
  13. Cook covered in the oven covered for 30 minutes
  14. Remove the lid after 30 minutes and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes
  15. The potato bake is ready when it is golden on top and a fork pushed into the middle of the dish has no resistance
  16. Remove from the oven and allow to stand and cool for 5-10 minutes prior to slicing and serving
Notes
This dish may take an extra 10-15 minutes to cook. This recipe is based on a fan forced oven. Cook time can vary depending on the amount of yogurt used and the depth of the layers
Ensure the potatoes are thinly sliced
Keep your fingers away from the slicer blade (I lost a little bit of my finger using mine. Three weeks later it is still painful!!)
