Enhance your potato bake with vibrant vegetables for a healthier twist.
Ingredients:
  • 550g white or purple sweet potato, scrubbed or peeled, thinly sliced
  • 700g orange sweet potato, scrubbed or peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 leek, trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 150g crème fraîche
  • 150ml milk
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh sage
  • 55g parmesan, finely grated
  • 50g vintage cheddar, coarsely grated
  • Fresh baby herbs, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan forced) and lightly grease a 6.5cm-deep, 20 x 30cm baking dish.
  • Place sweet potato in a large microwave-safe bowl with 60ml (1/4 cup) water and cover with 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Microwave on High for 8 minutes until just tender. Drain or alternatively, steam sweet potato.
  • Heat oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Sauté leek, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Combine luscious crème fraîche, creamy milk, fragrant garlic, and aromatic sage in a jug. Season to perfection.
  • Create a beautiful assembly in the dish using the sweet potato, leek, and parmesan. Top it off with cheddar, then gently pour the milk mixture over and add a sprinkle of pepper for extra flavor.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and cheese is melted. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Optional: Garnish with baby herbs.
