Directions

- Layer ¼ of the potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish, followed by ⅓ of the sliced onions and ⅓ of the grated cheddar. Season with salt and pepper and repeat the process finishing with a layer of potato
- Pour the cream and milk mixture all over the top and let the liquid soak down. Generously sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and cover the baking dish with foil and place into the oven for 40 minutes.
- After 40 minutes, remove the foil and add a few knobs of butter evenly over the top and place back into the oven for a further 20 minutes or until the top of the potato bake is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
