Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 medium potatoes
• 500 g sweet potatoes
• 1 (300 ml) container thickened cream (light may be substituted)
• 3 fresh garlic cloves
• 2 stalks spring onions (scallions)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (optional)

Recipe

• 1 slice the regular and sweet potatoes into 1/2 cm thick slices. (i don't normally peel the skins).
• 2 finely slice the garlic cloves.
• 3 finely slice the spring onion.
• 4 lightly grease the bottom of a 2 litre saucepan (just to stop the potatoes sticking).
• 5 place a layer of regular potato just to cover the bottom (you can leave gaps)
• 6 start a new layer of sweet potato, again just to cover the layer of regular potatoes.
• 7 scatter a few slices of fresh garlic.
• 8 scatter a few slices of spring onion.
• 9 sprinkle approx 1/2 tspn dried chilli flakes over the surface.
• 10 sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
• 11 repeat this layering process until all ingredients are used ( i normally get around 3 layers).
• 12 once all layers have been completed pour the tub of cream over the top.
• 13 grab hold of the pot and gently shake side to side until you see the cream sink down between the layers.
• 14 place on medium heat until it begins to boil then simmer gently for approx 30 - 45 mins until the potatoes are soft.
• 15 occasionally there is some excess liquid from the cream and i usually increase the heat to boiling again to reduce until it thickens.
