How To Make Delia Smith Boulangere Potatoes 

1. Prepare rosemary: Remove rosemary leaves from the stalks and crush them. Chop two-thirds of the leaves finely.
2. Prepare vegetables: Slice the onions and potatoes thinly.
3. Layer ingredients: In a lightly buttered 11 x 8 x 2 inches (28 x 20 x 5 cm) baking dish, layer the potatoes and onions, adding some chopped rosemary in each layer. Season each layer with salt and pepper. End with a layer of potatoes.
4. Mix and pour liquid: Mix the vegetable stock and milk, then pour it over the layers of potatoes. Season the top layer and sprinkle whole rosemary leaves on top.
5. Add butter: Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
6. Bake: Preheat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C). Bake on the top shelf for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden and crispy, and the potatoes are tender.

Recipe Tips

• Use a mandolin slicer: For evenly sliced potatoes and onions, use a mandolin slicer to ensure even cooking and a perfect texture.
• Soak potatoes: To reduce excess starch and improve texture, soak the sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before layering.
• Layer properly: Make sure each layer of potatoes and onions is seasoned with salt and pepper to ensure even flavor throughout the dish.
• Check liquid levels: If the top layer of potatoes looks too dry during baking, add a little more stock or milk to prevent burning.
• Let it rest: Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes after baking to help the flavors settle and make it easier to serve.
