Ingredients:

750g boiling potatoes, pared and thinly sliced
1 onion, sliced into thin rings
125g grated Cheddar cheese
375ml double cream
1 chicken stock cube, crumbled

Method:

Arrange a layer of potato slices (ensure they are overlapping) in the base of a baking dish and top these with a layer of onion rings. Reserve half the grated cheese and set aside. Sprinkle a little of the remaining cheese over the onions.

Continue the layering process until all the potato and onions has been used up. Combine the cream and chicken stock cube in a bowl. Whisk well then pour over the gratin mixture then top with the reserved Cheddar cheese.

When done, transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Serve hot.
