MEALS TO MAKE WITH POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/gas 6.
  2. Peel and cut the potatoes into 3mm-thick slices, then cook in a large pan of boiling salted water until just tender. Drain well, then transfer to a large baking dish.
  3. Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan on a medium heat, stir in the flour, followed slowly by the milk and cream, then simmer gently until thickened, stirring continuously.
  4. Remove from the heat, grate in and stir through most of the cheese, then season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. Pour the sauce over the potatoes, grate over the remaining cheese, then bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5.
  2. Carefully insert a metal skewer lengthwise into the end of the potato and gently push it all the way through.
  3. Using a sharp knife, make a small cut at one end of the potato until you hit the skewer, then carefully twist the potato round to continue the cut all the way along, creating a spiralised effect.
  4. Gently pull out the spirals to ensure even gaps along the length of the skewer, and brush well with 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  5. Finely grate the Parmesan into a bowl, then add in the paprika, cumin, garlic powder and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over the potato spirals and line up on a baking tray. Bake for 50 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
  6. To make the dip, place the yoghurt in a bowl, finely zest over the lemon and squeeze in half the juice, then mix well. Season to perfection.
  7. Finely grate a little extra Parmesan over the potato spirals and serve with the zesty yoghurt for dipping.
