Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Rub the butter over the inside of a large baking dish (20x30cm/8x12in). Layer the potatoes and pumpkin or squash in the dish, scattering the sage and plenty of seasoning between each layer. In a small pan, bring the milk and cream to a simmer then pour over the layered vegetables. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and scatter over the remaining sage. Bake for a further 15 minutes or until the potato is completely tender and the top is slightly browned.

Cooking tip

Butternut squash gives a firmer texture to this dish as it releases less water than pumpkin as it cooks, but both give a sweet, nutty flavour to the bake.

Freezing and defrosting instructions

Can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. Always defrost and heat thoroughly before eating. Never re-freeze food that has already been frozen; this includes raw and cooked ingredients such as meat, fish and poultry.
