Ingredients

1200 g Potatoes, floury, peeled and chunked
2 Onions, thinly sliced
50 g Butter
100 ml Milk
200 g Cheddar, mature, grated
5 g English mustard, optional
2 Tomatoes, sliced
400 g Baked beans

Method

Boil the potatoes in salted water until very tender.
Meanwhile cook the onions slowly in half the butter until soft and sweet.
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Drain and mash the potatoes with the rest of the butter and the milk, then beat in the onions, mustard and three-quarters of the cheese. Season.
Spread into a baking dish, lay the tomato slices on top, scatter with the rest of the cheese and bake until golden and crisp at the edges.
Warm the beans and serve alongside.
