Step by step recipe

1	Peel and cook 700 g potatoes in a pan of salted water.
2	When they are tender (check by piercing with a knife: the blade should pass through to the middle easily), drain and, when completely cooled, cut into pieces and spread evenly in a buttered gratin dish. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
3	Prepare 500 g broccoli (see how to do this here) and lay evenly over the potatoes.
4	Spread the 250 g Bechamel sauce over the top.
5	Finish by scattering 100 g grated cheese and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes...
6	...until the top is nicely browned. You can put the dish under the grill briefly to finish browning.

Remarks

For the grated cheese, I advise you to try a mature Cheddar, which gives an excellent flavour.
