INGREDIENTS
You can also freeze leftovers. Cool completely then transfer to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months, thaw in the refrigerator and then reheat. Texture may change slightly upon thawing but will still be delicious.

INGREDIENTS
- 4 medium potatoes (peeled)
- ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2¼ cups broccoli florets
- 2-3 sprigs oregano or thyme
WHITE SAUCE
- 2¾ cups milk
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons plain flour
- 1-2 pinches salt*
- 1-2 dashes black pepper
*If you use unsalted butter add a bit more salt.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 180C./ 160°C fan-forced
- 1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender but firm, remove to cool, then cut into ¼ inch slices, in the same water add the broccoli florets and cook approximately 3-5 minutes, they should be tender but not mushy. Drain well. While potatoes are cooling, make the white sauce.
WHITE SAUCE
- In a medium pot over low heat melt butter, whisk in flour and salt, continue whisking until smooth. Slowly add the milk and continue whisking constantly until thickened and starts to boil. Remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
- In an 8 inch (20cm) square baking dish, spread a couple of spoonfuls of white sauce on the bottom, making 3 layers, starting with the sliced potatoes, sprinkle of oregano, white sauce, broccoli florets (if too large cut into smaller pieces) and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, continue for three layers. Bake for approximately 30 minutes . Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
