Step 6: Layer up your potato casserole like a lasagna. Begin with a layer of potatoes, then scatter over a layer of onions, bacon, parmesan, herbs and pepper. Complete 2 more layers, then finish with a final layer of potatoes. Once you have sliced your potatoes, brush an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 21 cm / 8.25" diameter) with soft butter and start building the boulangere potatoes. You may not need all of the broth, you want to pour it on until it comes to just below the last layer of potatoes. this allows the top to crisp up nicely.

Get the layers right, starting with potato at the bottom and finishing the top with cheese. More details below. Preheat your oven to 395 F (200 C). Using two tablespoons of the butter generously grease a 1.5 liter casserole dish. The tradition was taking a casserole of potatoes to the local baker at the end of the day to cook the dish in the baker's cooling oven overnight.Olive Oil: Combining butter and olive oil yields a lovely buttery flavor while still allowing the casserole to crisp up. Centuries ago, in rural France it was not common to own an oven, so women would take their potatoes to the baker to bake in the communal oven. My stubborn elderly mom still has the potato baker she bought in the 1950s. Both handles have fallen off and she needs pot holders to use it. After a little discussion, we agreed it was no longer safe for her to use. One thing I noticed is that this one is about 20% lighter than her old model. It will be much easier for her to use. These are our favourite cheesy roasted cauliflower mashed potatoes. They go perfectly with roasted meat or fish, or… with sausages, gravy and vegetables for ‘posh sausage and mash’! Alternatively, try these very easy but luxurious truffle mashed potatoes! Waxy potatoes are a no-no, meaning anything like a Charlotte , Ratte, Desiree or Jersey Royal is strictly ruled out. They are more likely to hold their shape, so when you start to break down the cell walls of the potato through boiling and mashing, they give you more of a wallpaper paste than a perfectly fluffy mash.

I’ve delved so heavily into potato recipes over the last two years that I have been dubbed the ‘Potato Queen’ online. My videos on social media have had over 200 million views and even Nigella called me the ‘High Priestess of potato’.

With this title, however, comes great responsibility. So, it’s not without a significant amount of research and experimentation – not to mention months of strenuous, in-depth potato eating – that I’m about to tell you the best way to make mashed potato, to get it perfectly silky and smooth and raise the bar for this most worthy side dish. As Australia Day approaches next week, I’m planning some side dishes to have with our family BBQ at home and I’ll be making this ‘Creamy Potato Bake’ on the day. I use a Mandolin Slicer as I can’t slice potatoes consistently, which can then result in undercooked potato in your bake. If you have one with a safety guard, you can get the kids to help. Mine love helping slice the potatoes. Potatoes: The best potatoes for the perfect pommes boulangere are King Edwards, Yukon Gold, Russet, Maris Piper and Desiree potatoes.
