Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 40 min.
Peel and cook 700 ml potatoes in a pan of salted water.
Stage 2 - 10 min.
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).
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Stage 3 - 35 min.
Prepare 500 ml broccoli (see how to do this here) and lay evenly over the potatoes.
Stage 4 - 3 min.
Spread the 250 ml Bechamel sauce over the top.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Finish by scattering 100 ml grated cheese and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes...
Stage 6 - 30 min.
...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.
