Potato Gratin

We all love potato as a side dish and for the family this one is a beaut.
Its one that you can improve the flavour of if you wish add some bacon and serve it as the main meal. We make this a lot at the college cafe and I often add a bit of flour in between the potato layers for a different consistency


1 -1/2 ozs butter
900gms potato, thinly sliced
2 onions, thinly sliced
1-1/2 cup tasty cheese, grated
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
1 chicken stock cube crumbed (optional)

Grease an ovenproof dish with the butter
Layer the potatoes and onion with the grated cheese some of the cheese.
sprinkle each layer with S/P
Finish with a layer of potato slices save some cheese for the top.
Mix milk cream and crumbed stock cube pour over the potatoes and then sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Place the in the oven and bake uncovered for 1 hour or till cooked
