Instructions

Get Started
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Bring a large saucepan of water with ½ tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes.

Peel and slice the potatoes into 1cm thick rounds.

Once boiling, add the potato slices to the water and simmer until just tender, 8-12 mins. Once cooked, carefully drain in a colander.

Prep Time
2

Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.

Thinly slice the tomatoes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Drain and slice the mozzarella.

In a jug, combine the sun-dried tomato paste, vegetable stock paste, garlic, sugar and boiled water for the stock (see pantry for both amounts). Season with pepper

Build your Gratin
3

Lay half the cooked potato slices over the bottom of an appropriate sized ovenproof dish. Layer over half the tomato slices. Sprinkle over half the hard Italian style cheese, half the oregano and half the breadcrumbs. Drizzle with olive oil.

Repeat with the potato and tomato slices. Gently pour the sun-dried tomato stock all over.

Top with the mozzarella slices, then sprinkle over the remaining hard Italian style cheese, oregano and breadcrumbs. Finish by drizzling olive oil over the top.

Into the Oven
4

Bake your gratin on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown and bubbly, 25-30 mins. TIP: Put the dish onto a baking tray to catch any drips.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.

Finishing Touches
5

Combine the pesto and olive oil for the drizzle (see pantry for amount) in a small bowl. Set aside for now.

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, share your potato gratin between plates. Serve the baby leaves alongside with a drizzle of oil.

Drizzle the pesto over the gratin to finish.
