Pumpkin Potato Bake Recipes

PUMPKIN & POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6/fan 180C. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until starting to soften (about 5 minutes). Lift the onions out with a slotted spoon and place in an ovenproof dish.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan, then tip in the garlic, chilli, pumpkin chunks, chopped potatoes and sage and toss them together in the hot oil until lightly browned all over. (This takes 5-6 minutes.) Add to the dish containing the onion.
• Scatter the two sorts of cheese over the vegetables, season and toss together until well mixed. Combine the stock and cream and pour over the vegetables.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the breadcrumbs and walnuts together until lightly browned. Stir in the parsley and scatter the crumbly mixture over the top of the vegetables. Put in the oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Serve hot, with a chicory salad (see link, right).

Layer 1/2 of the potato slices on top, season with salt and pepper, add 1/4 of the thyme, and 1/4 of the Gruyere. Repeat pumpkin layer and potato layer each one more time, using up remaining seasoning and Gruyere.

PUMPKIN POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the baking dish with a little bit of vegan (or regular) butter.
• Prepare vegetables: Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Next, cut the pumpkin into similar sized cubes (if using Hokkaido pumpkin there will be no need to peel it). Place the vegetables into the prepared dish, add salt and pepper to taste and mix with your hands.
• Prepare the rest of the ingredients: Top and tail the lemon grass sticks and remove their outer leaves. Chop them very very finely. Next, peel and grate the ginger. Remove the seeds of the chili (or leave them there if you like things hot) and chop the chili very finely. Place all these ingredients in a bowl and stir in the coconut milk.
• Bake: Pour this mixture over the potatoes and pumpkin, dot with the remaining butter or vegan alternative, and bake for 40 or 50 minutes until the potatoes and the pumpkin are very tender. Sprinkle with parsley.
• Serve with salad or as a side dish.
