Potato Bake Recipe No Cream

Potato and Leek Bake

As the weather gets cooler I start to get hankerings for warm comfort food. What is more delicious than potato bake?

My potato bake recipe is made with a small amount of home made yoghurt instead of cream. You don’t need to have made your own yoghurt to make this recipe, I just like to. I created this version of potato bake one afternoon after collecting an armful of baby leeks from the garden and a bunch of fresh herbs. Potato, leek and sage combine well together. It also looks nice on the plate, making it a good side dish when entertaining.

Ingredients:

Steps:

Slice potatoes thinly

Layer the potatoes

Potato Bake no cream

Hints and Tips:

Due to a wide variance in ovens this dish may take an extra 10-15 minutes to cook than specified

Ensure the potatoes are thinly sliced or they will not cook in the specified time

If the potatoes do not feel cooked through after 1 1/2 hours but the top is getting darker in color put the lid back on, turn oven off and let the bake sit for 10 minutes in the warm oven to finish cooking

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!!)
