Potato, cheese and garlic bake

This recipe has been adapted from Mrs Maureen Kirkland's recipe for Cheese Pie which appears in The Hairy Bikers' book, Mum's Know Best (ISBN 0297860267). My version is rather more powerful and rustic.

• 4 bulbs roasted garlic, squeezed
• 500 g potatoes, peeled
• Large knob of butter
• Splash of milk
• White pepper, freshly ground
• 180 g Cornish Quartz cheese
• 180 g Parmesan cheese
• 70 g fresh rye breadcrumbs

5. Layer the bottom of the baking dish with half of the potato mixture.
6. Sprinkle a further 60 g each of the two cheeses over the top.
7. Season again and spread the rest of the potato mixture over the top.
8. Mix the remaining cheese with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle them onto the potato mixture.
9. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes until the cheese has crispened.

Serving suggestions

Serve with vegetables and any suitable sauce. Also good with salad.

Variations

Use any combination of strong cheese you like. I would normally include some fried chilli slices, but as my daughter is eating this as well, I have had to omit them on this occasion.
