Method

Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Slice the potatoes and squash into rounds about the thickness of a £1 coin. Add to a large saucepan, cover with the milk and cream and season well. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 10 mins until just tender.
Remove the veg with a slotted spoon and layer into an ovenproof oven dish. Mix the chopped sage into the cream and milk mixture and season well.
Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, then scatter with the breadcrumbs and cheese. Top with the whole sage leaves and cook for 30 mins until golden and bubbling. If the cheese begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
While the gratin is cooking, boil the green beans in salted water for 4-5 mins until tender. Drain and serve with the gratin.
