Two-Potato Bake
by Sue Verstraten

This is a potato bake that is suitable as the centrepiece of a meal, for with all the extras it becomes something special.

Ingredients (organic):
1/2 kg pumpkin, sliced
1-1/2 kg potato, sliced (Dutch creams are a good variety to use when available)
1-1/2 kg sweet potato, sliced
bunch of silverbeet
1 can red kidney beans
2 onions, chopped fried until golden brown
250 mL cream
200 mL sour cream
1/2 cup grated cheese
100 g feta cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
black pepper, cracked coarsely
1 stock cube, crumbled

Method:

First, line a 30 cm springform tin with baking paper.

Mix sour cream, cream, stock cube and cracked pepper together.

Lightly steam pumpkin and potatoes. Place in tin in alternating layers of white and orange. Sprinkle grated cheese and onion and some of the creams between each layer.

When you reach halfway up the pan, spread with more cheese and lay silverbeet across surface, then crumble feta cheese over this. Mix kidney beans with some cheese and pour over the feta cheese, then cover all this with more silverbeet. Then continue until you reach the top of the tin. You can go a little higher, as it will all settle into one delicious pie. Cover with parmesan, cheese and more pepper.

Bake for 1 hour at 180° C. Test with wooden skewer; if bake is soft, remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before removing from tin.

Serve with your favourite salad. Enjoy!
