Cheese and potato bake with sausages

Layers of thinly sliced potato and onion baked in milk under a bubbling cheddar top, with a tray of sausages roasting alongside. Simple, cheap and very cheering.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) and butter a baking dish. Warm the milk with the crumbled stock cube until steaming, stirring to dissolve it.
  2. Layer the potato slices and onion in the dish, scattering most of the cheese and a twist of pepper between the layers. Pour over the hot milk, dot with the butter and scatter the last of the cheese on top.
  3. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden and bubbling and a knife slides easily through the potatoes.
  4. When the foil comes off, toss the sausages in the oil on a separate tray and roast on the shelf above until browned and cooked through.
  5. Cook the peas in boiling water for the last few minutes, then serve the bake with the sausages and peas.
