Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Rub the butter over the inside of a large baking dish (20x30cm/8x12in). Layer the potatoes and pumpkin or squash in the dish, scattering the sage and plenty of seasoning between each layer. In a small pan, bring the milk and cream to a simmer then pour over the layered vegetables. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and scatter over the remaining sage. Bake for a further 15 minutes or until the potato is completely tender and the top is slightly browned.
