Ingredients

• 2kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (I use Maris Piper potatoes)
• 1 butternut squash, halved deseeded, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1000ml of Koko milk
• 200g Koko plain yoghurt
• ½ tsp of rock salt
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• 4 sage leaves, finely chopped
• 1 nutmeg, finely grated
• 4 tbsp cornflour
• 100g golden breadcrumbs
• 20g yeast extract (optional)
• 90g applewood vegan smoky cheese, grated
• 480g fine whole green beans

Method

1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees. In a large saucepan add the potatoes and butternut squash, pour in the milk and yoghurt and season well (if the veg isn’t fully covered, fill with boiling water) Bring to the boil then reduce to simmer for 10 mins.

2. Remove the potatoes and butternut squash with a slotted spoon into a large oven proof dish. Whisk in the chopped sage, nutmeg and cornflour into the milk and yoghurt mixture and season a little more. Bring to the boil and simmer until slightly thickened, this should take around 15 mins. Pour the mixture over the potatoes, then scatter the breadcrumbs, yeast extract and cheese on top. Place in the oven for 30-35 mins until golden and bubbling.

3. With 5 mins to go until the gratin is cooked, boil the green beans in salted water for 5 mins until tender. Drain and serve with the gratin!
