Sweet Potato and Butternut Bake

This is one of my own creations and is super delicious!


Ingredients:
1Kg         Sweet potato
750g       Butternut
500ml     Fresh Cream
250ml     Milk
1packet  Royco Parmesan and Garlic Potato Bake
2 tbsp      Basil Pesto
150g        Parmesan Cheese
100g        Cheddar Cheese
4 tbsp      fine bread crumbs




Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C
Peel the butternut and sweet potato, slice into thin slices.
Put the packet of potato bake powder in a bowl, add a splash of milk and mix to a paste.
Add the cream and the rest of the milk and mix well.
Finely grate the parmesan cheese and add to the milk mixture.
Add the Basil pesto to milk mixture.
Layer the sweet potato and butternut in a shallow baking dish.
Pour over the milk mixture over the potato and butternut.
Grate the cheddar cheese and sprinkle over the top.
Sprinkle the fine bread crumbs over the cheese.
Put it into the hot oven and bake for 50 minutes uncovered.


The addition of the breadcrumbs is optional, but it gives the dish a really nice crispy topping.
My mom also uses potato crisps finely crushed and sprinkled over the cheese, which adds a nice flavour to the topping.


Believe me this will become a family favourite, my son loves it.
