Easy Cheesy Potato Bake

Is there anything more comforting than cheesy potatoes? I think not! Just simple, warming comfort food.

Cooking PotMETHOD

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 220° C/425° F/Gas 7. Par-boil the potatoes for 4 minutes.

  2. Combine the milk, butter and flour and heat on low until it thickens, about 5 minutes, whisking continuously.

  3. Add the cheddar, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Continue to heat and gently whisk, until the cheese has melted.

  4. Meanwhile, melt some butter in a pan and gently cook the leeks and spring onions for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

  5. Put the potatoes in a large baking dish, add the leeks and onions and cover in the cheese sauce. Mix well and cover with the mozzarella.

  6. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes.
